I have made a few Energy Swords but not happy with the handle.

I am taking a step forward and trying my hand at Molding. Got Help from Doc Daily.

First step was to model a new handle for myself. I know there are a few models out there but I wanted something my own.

Thanks for your interest. I plan to make a bunch of energy swords. This will be my first silicone molding project
 
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 some of my son's legos to make a mold box.

I used Mold Star 16 Fast from Smooth on.
Now time to wait and see how the mold turns out

Ooh! The suspense is killing me! Also, how will you make the blades, and attach them to the hilt? Will you use EL wire, or use translucent plexiglass, or both?
 
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.

How much was the safety glass? and how did you make the blades?
