Saruman LIGHT UP Staff ready for downlaod :)
🕑 Added 2025-09-01 17:40:51 +0000 UTCSomething I’ve always wanted to make… Saruman’s Staff!
But not just Saruman’s staff — this one is a remotely controlled, LIGHT-UP version :)
The coolest part? The electronics I used are the same ones I’ve included in some of my previous projects, so chances are you already have everything you need to get started.

This release includes 3 versions of the staff:
With a cutout for a rod (for structural strength)
With a cutout for press-fit strips (instead of a rod, you print “strips” that connect the staff — note: depending on your infill & wall count, it can be a bit wobbly. I may add a thicker version later based on your feedback!)
Fully combined (so you can cut it however you prefer and use your own rods)
And there are 3 "gem" versions:
1. Fully combined with drain hole (for resin, non-functional, no lights)
2. Split in the middle (for an LED light source)
3. Split on the lower end (for an LED light source)
So you can build it whichever way works best for you!
This was also a little test run for another project I have in mind… but more on that later.
Hope you have fun with this one — can’t wait to see your builds! :)

(in other words, I ended up with 3 unused long rods and ended up cutting the excess of the remaining 2, plus the short used on the "tip")

BTW I did print the one with the supplied inner rods and: 1) yes, it comes out quite "wobbly" 2) The staff files come with 5 long rods and 1 short rod but only SHORT rods fit the parts! Is this intentional or!??!!? May be thats why it comes out wobbly!??!

WOahhH!! The WOODEN STAFF of GtG would be SO AWESOME with a light up stone on the upper part! If you do, please find EXTRASUPERBRIGHTWHITE leds, more than one! so we can't stare at it directly! LOL
