This is a lightsaber. It is a blade version. We have decided to make a saber with a light strip in the back to light it up. It has a pommel and a handle that is shapely. It is super cool.

    Modeling
    1. First create the handle
      1. Make sure it is wide enough in the center so that the electronics sit inside
      2. Make sure the hole where the handle fits in is thick enough for the thickness of the glass but not so loose to have it fall out. 
      3. Make sure to also account for the backing that is larger and at the end of the blade that must also fit into the handle 
      4. To make the holes create an offset plane and create a hole to the circumference of the buttons
      5. Same with the charging port
      6. Make the inside threads
    2. Create the pommel
      1. Create offset planes for the details 
      2. Create the inside threads
    3.  Create the backing
      1. Create the backing so there is room for neo pixels
        1. Leave a little wiggle room
      2. Have it go in to then clamp on the blade
      3. Create holes for setting screws
