I've made a few light sword-hilty things in my time - steel, aluminum, cardboard, and now plastic! All but the emitter base can be printed without support material. Modeled 100% in Tinkercad using basic geometric shapes.
Using colored filament you can achieve a finish that doesn't need paint or weathering; add a 5/8 inch polycarbonate tube (outer-diameter) for added affect. Voids in the model are big enough to accommodate modest electronics and LEDs for the hard-core cosplayer.
Making your own... is an important step in your training. Do you have your crystal?
