Power Rangers: White Dino Sword
July 20, 2026
A physical creation of the White Dino Ranger weapon of choice, the White Drago Sword! Now with full motorised extension action for the blade!
Development
Yet another project that brought a new design and engineering challenge into my life! This time, the client simply wanted a replica of the White Drago Sword from the TV series Power Rangers Dino Thunder…
The challenge for this project came from the client wishing for the sword to be accurate to the in-universe weapon. Which meant that the blade needed to be able to extend and retract on command.
Therefore, I needed to figure out the engineering behind a linear motor system, along with the ability to 3D print a functional rail system, all of which needed to fit inside the dimensions of a slim-line sword body. Without being fragile, or heavy.
Simple, right?

Simple, right?
As with many of my projects, I used high-quality rechargeable lithium-ion batteries to power the mechanism. A USB-C port is stealthily placed to allow for recharging the cell, and a two-way switch is used so that the user has full control of both extension and retraction. Overall, a pretty tidy build, and a really great project.
