After 14 hr print the handle came out ok. Some of the details like the lettering did not come out Like I hoped. Had to remodel some add-ons before I poured the mold.

I used Mold Star 16 Fast from Smooth on.

Sorry for the inactivity. I have been posting on Facebook under Halo Props and forgot to update this thread. I ended up using high impact polycarbonate (Safety Glass) and programmable LEDs called Neopixels using an Adriuno Trinket processor. I Dont know how to post Vids but I was able to get the following effects: Blade extension, Blade Blink out, Blade Pulsing when on, Color change Red - Blue. Here are finished pics.
I even Made a Brute shot variant
