For my flashlight design I decided to go with a sword hilt. I wanted to make something fun. I added the helix for the leather grip and a circular guard. The pommel has a screw thread on it so it can be taken off to reach the button.
I used the screw thread techniques on blackboard to make the grip and the thread for the pommel. It was definitely a learning experience. I used the revolve tool to make the base of the structure. I then added the detail on the guard using extrudeisocurve, loft, and booleandifference.
Obviously a sword hilt would be made of metal with a leather grip. I used brushed bronze for the details. The inset diamonds are actually a plastic texture. I tried the gemstone textures but because of the way keyshot renders they weren't showing as red but instead as grey.
EDIT:
I reworked my design so the guard is a separate piece and then did two more renderings with a light in the design,
design the circular element as a separate part that you can glue on for 3d printing
