Use your maker skills and become the Jedi you were meant to be! Construct your own lightsaber using 3D printed parts and electronics from Adafruit. This advanced prop uses an accelerometer to detectswings and hits to trigger super bright NeoPixels with full sound FX!  \n3D Printed Props  \nDesigned to be 3D printed with multi-material setups for creating custom color combinations. This prop is released as an open source design. Built-in access to the Adafruit Prop-Maker FeatherWing and made to be taken apart and reassembled. It's not just for show, we engineered it to take heavy hits*! Will you join the light side orthe dark side?  \nOur previous prop builds required wiring many boards together to get what essentially is a Prop-Maker FeatherWing. For example, our Ray Gun project ([https://](https://)[ ](https://)[adafru.it/CV9](adafru.it/CV9)) employed a micro-controller, audio amp, sound effects board, accelerometer, usb lipo charger, laser module and a perf-board to put it all together.
