Sailor Moon is a classic anime that has been around for decades.

The story follows a group of teenage girls who use their magical transformation wands to transform into superpowered heroines and save the world from evil.

The transformation wand is an iconic item in the show, and many replica wands are available on the market. However, most of these replicas are made with cheap materials and lack the attention to detail that true fans crave.

This Instructable will show you how to make a high-fidelity replica of the Sailor Moon transformation wand using 3D printing and basic electronics.

This replica wand is made with high-quality materials and looks just like the real thing.

It even has working light effects and a rechargeable battery via a USB-C connector.

What tools do you need?

Once you get all the 3D printed parts, make sure you have the following tools:

- A pair of scissors.

- A cutter

- A piece of paper

- A piece of sandpaper (medium)

- Tweezers for working with small parts.

How to assemble the wand?

No lights effect version

Once you have smoothed the print surface using the sandpaper and the cutter, assemble the wand by glueing together the PSM_Moon(LS)_V1 and the PSM_Moon(RS)_V1 and let them dry.

Follows the PSM_BottomCapNoUSB_V1 with the PSM_BottomRing_V1 parts. The glue should be used to connect the two pieces. Once the glue has set, you can insert the two pieces together and hold them together until it dries.

TIP: If there is too much space between the PSM_BottomCapNoUSB_V1 and the PSM_Handle_V1, you can increase the thickness of PSM_BottomCapNoUSB_V1 by cutting a piece of paper and placing it in between the 2 parts.

Once the bottom part is secured, you can proceed with the star button. Make sure you find the right orientation of the PSM_Star_V1, then carefully push the button inside the PSM_Handle_V1 with your finger. You might need to push it with the help of a tweezer.

Secure the PSM_Star_V1 in place with a piece of cardboard or paper compressed between the PSM_Star_V1 and the PSM_Handle_V1 with the help of a tweezer.

Assemble now the PSM_CrystalLed_V1 with the 6mm strasses (or PSM_Strass_V1). Glue again the pieces toghether, then insert the PSM_CrystalLed_V1 inside the PSM_Handle_V1 slot and secure it in place with a drop of glue.

To complete the handle, glue the PSM_FrontSymbol_V1 to the PSM_CrystalLed_V1 and make sure the 2 small pins are aligned and fits toghether.

Now glue the moon and the PSM_CrystalHolder_V1 to the handle. Use again a piece of paper if the parts are too loose before glueing them together.

On top of the PSM_CrystalHolder_V1 fit the glass crystal (or the PSM_Crystal_V1) with the last drop of glue!

Enjoy your wand!

Lights effect version

Everything from the "no lights effect version" plus the electric circuit according to the following schema.

Make sure to use the PSM_BottomCap_V1 instead of the PSM_BottomCapNoUSB_V1 when you are assembling the wand.

The TP4056 module is intended to fit inside the PSM_BottomCap_V1.
