- What if the "flame" in Andúril, the Flame of the West, was a lightsaber? This is what inspired us to make a Lord of the Rings sword that looks like it could be in the Star Wars universe! (they're both epic fantasies, after all)

Fantastic project . . . and that sanding montage . . . literally laughing out loud!!!
Hahaha, so glad we made you laugh!
Unchained Melody was a bit expensive I'm guessing. :D
@@Unbreathless I should have sung it...
@@punishedprops only if it's the Elvis version
Bahaha
That sanding montage was giving me Evan and Katelyn’s waiting montage vibes.
Hahaa! Totally!
Jon Snow's Longclaw would make an incredible lightsaber, or Ned Stark's Ice
Yes! I'm thinking a blue blade?
@@punishedprops Or do catspaw like a lightsaber dagger 🗡️
So great! You just convinced me of what I'm going to build my buddy for his upcoming 50th birthday.
Excellent!
Thanks for sharing, i use spackle paste used for drywall( the stuff that goes in between the tiles that has a consistency of toothpaste) to fill small holes, the cool thing is that it can be thinned with water and soften with water. I basically apply it over the holes, let it dry, dampen the surface with a brush then wipe away with a rag and it levels off almost perfectly, it can also be thinned before applying for very small holes and lines.
The Katamari Damacy song break alone get's a like, but all around a great video.
HAHA! What an amazing, fabulous game.
Okay, you guys got an Actual Factual LOL out of me with the sanding bit.
Haha! Splendid!😃
I would absolutely love to see you two tackle an armor set from the video game: the surge well after making the exo-rig of course
That Krylon all in one textured black looks way more convincing as leather than I expected. Might have to give it a try.
Ooh yeah its nice stuff.
Oooh another lightsaber mashup! You and Tethan are the only people I've seen do these mash-ups and did it amazingly! Also what about a Witcher lightsaber next??
A Witcher lightsaber would be siiiiick!
@@punishedprops hell yeah it would! But will it be the steel or silver one?
…both? Both.
That Ghost ref in the beginning. Cute. Very jealous of your lightsaber Brit
Ha! Thanks! 😃
awesome looking lightsaber! You could include a tiny borehole in the Cross guards (to let the air escape when you glue the threaded rod in).
I'm still hoping for a red Kurgan-Sith lightsaber!
That would be a spectacular build!
You guys are so great together! Thanks for the great video as always ^.^
You're welcome!
Sanding montage is on point
We do so much sanding, we need to find new ways to make it fun!
Resin printer time do do do Resin printer time.
You two are adorable together btw.
Look forward to your sla printing! You guys actually deserve one! Unlike the form3 sitting wasted in adam’s cave
Great build! The Highlander Lightsaber was my favorite, but now………..….. it’s one of my 2 favorites!
There can be only two!
@@punishedprops Skighlander!!
Love love love this project! Excited to see you both jumping into some resin printing. The mono x and the wash and cure plus are fantastic!
I'm sensing a possible Uncle Jessy/Punished Props team up!!
Power Move! Pow!!
You know it buddy! We're gonna have a lot of fun with these machines.
Bill amd Brit being so adorable ♥
Thanks! =D
Beautiful end result!
And the sanding scene played out just as well as predicted in the previews! 😂🤣
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic build and fantastic video 👍🏻
Thank you so much!
Great build as always, Bill and Brit. Another fast way to fill resin divots left by supports and small holes, etc. is to use more resin. Brush a little on with a paintbrush and then instantly cure it with a UV flashlight. The flashlights can be found on Amazon for less than $20. Just make sure it is the right wavelength. I've even used it to build up gussets wo strengthen thin areas of prints.
Finally, one last tip. After you have washed the excess resin off in alcohol (but before curing) give the prints a bit of a soak in hot/warm water. It will soften the supports and they practically fall off the model as long as the tips aren't imbedded too far into the surface.
Excellent idea, thanks for sharing!
For the supports you can use light or medium supports placed automatically and then add a few heavy for extra strength. You can use the resin itself as a filler material and cure it with a UV flashlight
Oh man, I need to try the resin and UV flashlight trick.
@@punishedprops It works stupidly well but def wear a respirator as it gets stinky & toxic real quick!
@@UnvarnishedTarnished Thanks, will do! (I played bass for Stinky & Toxic)
@@punishedprops 😂 LOVE IT
@@punishedprops I use it all the time. Add baking soda (and even pigments) to your resin so it makes a paste and can help sometimes. Just be careful that curing resin with a UV light ( 405 nm) generates a LOT of heat and can melt PLA, ABS, or other plastics. Great job, I love your channel and energy.
A Jedi Gandalf or Sith Sarumon cosplay would be cool. You could do the staff ends for the sabers (like Tethan did)
Oh yeah! Great idea.
Screen protector is also a must I learned the hard way 😅 I also learned about temp early and now point a tower heater directly at it I find it could also handle being warmer than recommended but not cooler least for anycubics standard resin :)
A threaded rod might actually be a good idea for simple fact that it gives more places for the glue to grab onto. So even though it wasn't intended I think it actually was the better option.
Yeah definitely a bonus.
Tapping resin with a power drill?? Bill, my friend, you're a braver man than I!
Loved the Ghost reference, and the project turned out epic! Great job, guys!
I like to live dangerously. =)
Love this build, such a cool idea!!! You guys killed it!!!👍👍
Thanks so much!
for pits in resin, you can add just a little bit of uncured resin to the pit and then cure it. you still need to sand but that works well. you can also do that to hide seams just put some uncured resin on the seam and then cure.
That's a really fantastic idea!
Awesome build,
Ps. Real smooth Bill Swazey
Why thank you!
I feel like there should be more lightsaber building on this channel....
This is our 3rd lightsaber project and they're just so much fun!
Bahahaha! The Ghost sanding montage killed me.
Excellent! HA! =D
"it's not just good, it's good enough" 🤣 one of my favorite lines from Community!
now you need a Stormbringer Darksaber
Woah what a cool idea!
You guys are so cool! Think I met you guys once. I want to say you entered the Nightingale costume at Boise's Tree City Commic Con way back in the when.
Oh yeah I remember that con! I had my Skyrim Draugr costume. I believe the Nightingale was someone else.
"The sword once broken and hastily re-glued."
The ‘end credits’ …….
** Makes me happy every time I turn it on!
** Sounded dirty!
😂😂
bahaha
The hilt looks like the one from" The Legion of Orion star chaser"
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but if you submerge the resin in warm/hot water before curing the supports should be easier to remove with less damage to the print.
Great tip!
Ghost Pottery Scene.. lol! Hahaha!
24:49 “It’s not just good, it’s good enough.”
Out of curiosity, was that a reference to North of the Border perchance?
It was! 😁
If you want an easier time taking supports off you can dip the print into hot water after cleaning but before curing and the supports just peel right off!
We've gotta try that!
Leaves less damage and saves a ton of time!
You always do such quality work. Love it!
Thank you so much!
I had no idea about the super glue putty trick! I wonder of you could do a full saturation mix of baking soda to water and use that as a setting spray that won't melt the paint because I know that baking soda will instantly catalyze super glue.
I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
21:49 Bill really missed the chance for "These are not the holes you are looking for!"
Ahh missed opportunity!
Hey this is awesome! We have built a few of these anduril lightsabers ourselves from stainless steel! We would love you to check it out if you have the time?
I don’t know why but TH-cam moved the like button on mobile and I’ve accidentally disliked like 3 videos! Sorry about that, I’ve in-disliked lol
That sanding montage was hilariously unexpected! Didn’t think you two had such a great sense of humor.
"Print it up! Print it up!" Was that a The Crow reference? ie- "Fire it up! Fire it up!"
You know it!
@@punishedprops Ha! Fantastic
I happened to watch this on valentine's day. Appropriate.
can you make the swords that Tengen Uzui, uses pls :]
Any chances of seeing you make a set of dice? 3d print, resin pour, big foam set?
Cool
Now, you need a Sith sword. But what villainous sword would you make into a Sith saber?
The Kurgan would be dope!
Why do I find myself blowing away the shavings from the drill press? I guess I'm a special boy.
Interesting
"That blade was broken"........."it has been rema...um....upgraded"
Yes! Exactly!
You guys are amazing and adorable. Thank you for all that you do. 💛
You’re welcome!
Also you want to use PPE the sanding dust is bad to breath in but I’m sure you know that
Never, ever, ever sand resin without a proper dust mask. I prefer to wet sand just to be sure.
FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING remove your supports before you cure. it will help with all the clean up. You can run it under hot water to soften the supports and pull them off easy. Also flush cutters to remove supports is also good.
We did remove the supports before curing. The resin already felt cured, strangely, too. We’ll have to try a shorter exposure for each layer.
@@punishedprops OK cool. I know the typical route is cure then remove. Also another slight secret is that you can, very carefully, sand it before you cure to get is smoother. I have used this when I knew there was going to be sanding issues. Since its soft it will come off a little easier
@@mikem8518 that's super clever!
It's just occurred to me that these two lightsaber projects have been incredibly close to Fidelacchius from the Dresden Files.
The katana one is even golden, just like Fidelacchius. 😄
You could have made it a broadsaber for a battle between modern and ancient Jedi.
Such a fun build!! Would be awesome to see a Gimli light blade battle axe with some clear resin edges. Or a Hobbit Orcrist with a clear resin built out edge from the light tube!!
I love it!
The Elves would totally use kyber crystals in their blades ;)
LOVE THIS!!
MORE resin advice for the future: you can make resin filler much like your superglue & baby powder mix, using resin & baby powder. Like, mostly powder (8 or 10:1), and you can cure it with the UV flashlight. Maybe it's just as easy with the superglue, up to you! But it worked great on my ecto-goggle print I did recently.... also in my own Photon Mono X. Which works great when it works great.... I had a lot of learning curve and print failures to start, but it's going to get a good workout soon when I dive back into making Ghostbusters and Star Wars thingies :)
You cracked me up with the Ghost scene :D
Awesome, thanks for the tip!
I like the Ghost spoof, kinda difficult to pull off with sanding lol.
HA! Right?!
Dragon Slayer Lightsaber
I have the same machine and instead of IPA I use Mean Green Cleaner and works as well as the IPA without all the severe irritants
That's great to hear! What kind of resin are you using? We're trying out Blu by Siraya Tech now.
@@punishedprops I use several. Depends on the project. Anycubic mostly but recently I've had great results with Elegoo Plant base Photopolimer Normal time exposure of 6 sec and bottom 45 sec.and for Anycubic Eco Resin Normal at 9 sec and bottom 55sec. I'm in a cold weather so lots of I side printing. That's why I use more plant based resins.
Siraya is very reliable and works well.
The Ghost reference is hilarious. :) Great build!
Thanks!
Awesome build guys! If you ever want to do a collaboration with me (Tethan Props) just reach out!
Right on! Thanks for the inspiration. 😄
A tip for printing hollow resin pieces like the handle is to place the piece more vertical not fully but about 75 degrees. Then place heavy supports at the bottom of the piece and also inside the hollow section instead of the outside so that there isn't any marks to get rid of. Works great if you want to preserve a lot of detail on the outer wall of the piece that sanding would destroy or if you're lazy like I am. It also gives you more room on the bed for other pieces but keep in mind the taller a print job is the longer it takes.
Thanks for the tip!
I love these designs. Been trying to work out a Flame sword like in Game of Thrones.
That would be spectacular!
Hey so I have a project/ video request if that's ok. I'd LOVE to see you make the Soul Reaver from the Legacy of Kain games. Preferably foam but I'd be lying if I said I don't want to see it in lightsaber form.
Not since the Blade Runner snub nose have I CRAVED a project more.
The snub nose was such a fun kit build!
Sexy sanding montage!! Lmao you guys are adorable. I'd make some molds from the parts after the clean up so you can use stronger resin
I think if we planned on making more than one we would have gone through the hassle and cost of making a mold, but this will just be on display in our house, so the resin prints should be OK.
Still getting used to Bill without a hat.
I have always kinda wondered why no-one makes actual custom sword-blade-shaped lightsaber blades? I'd love to see a lightsaber version of the Atlantean Sword from 1982's Conan the Barbarian... but because of the way the sword was designed a traditional lightsaber blade would look pretty goofy on it considering the blade itself had like a good 45% of the detail that made the sword so iconic.
Ripper Blades makes the kind of blades you're talking about. ripperblades.net/
You just reminded me-- I shoulda remembered when you did the Highlander sabre-- Have y'all read the Dresden Files? (Spoilers for a book from several years ago, I guess.)
Neither of us has read those books yet.
Y’all are great together. Great tutorial… and fun too!
Thanks so much!
Perfect is the enemy of done
No Ghosting! 😁 Another lovely addition to the collection. And more reminders that (nearly) anything can be fixed with a little body filler. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
can you make a mask again? pls
Great video . Sanding segment was really hilarious and a little bit weird .
Thanks!
You guys and the ghost sanding. Lol, super dorks, i love it
Appreciated!
I love you two so much, you've been such great teachers and inspiration to a little ol' ill prop girl like myself, you're very appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to share all of your hard work with us. Regarding the project, and this is probably something I should just look up myself, is there... any sort of like "flat" polycarbonate plastic if I wanted to say try to make a "glass" or "crystal" looking sword blade that you've worked with and recommend? I've made clear resin daggers before but I'd really like to make a sword, even try to make it light up like a lightsabre someday. Oh well, it's a project to keep percolating. Be safe and well everyone! Thanks again you two, you're so adorable
So glad we can inspire you with our work! We haven't made a transparent long blade ourselves, but Tethan Props uses thick sheets of Acrylic for his blades: th-cam.com/video/Kum9PfYWTDw/w-d-xo.html Our local plastic supply shop is TAP Plastic and they're great at answering customer questions, but you may have a similar store in your area: www.tapplastics.com/
Alright, dude, that one's not even fantasy, that's just an alien, Pim.
OMG! That Sanding Montage!!!! It's true... a couple that sands together, sticks together...
Have Joel get you and Uncle Jessy in a zoom together, hes my go to resin guy
Those guys are wizards!
Can you make a game of thrones lightsaber
That Ghost parody. You guys are adorable.
Hah! Thanks. 😄
Great project and watch! The saber came out awesome! Nothing like having your own custom lightsaber.
Hahaha!! @19.00 Sanding...The Point of Diminishing Returns or endurance or just caring.
You are the best couple. I love it so much. Miss you guys!
Thanks so much old friend! We miss you too!
Loving the process and you guys ribbing off each other having fun 😀
Thanks so much!
BABE WAKE UP ITS A NEW PUNISHED PROPS VIDEO!
Get it while it's hot!
Completely off topic question but can you use another USB flash stick on your Anycubic? I have tried different ones from 512MB - 32GB and only the original USB works with the printer
Video: [drill sounds]
TH-cam CC: [music]
... Hm, yeah, it is pleasing, but I'm not sure I'd call it music.
This is a pretty inspiring build, and you've got me considering a resin printer after all. I just can't get these kinds of details on my 2 FDM printers, or even my CNC router. I wish there wasn't so much post-processing on all of them, though. You guys make it look easy, but I know there's a lot of work there.
Gee, a signifcant blade being reforged as a lightsaber... Must... not... make... Dresden Files... reference...
