Hello all,

I am new to the modular hilt scene and I have a few questions. The picture is a design that I am using for my saber (the dimensions are only approximations). I am planning on using a "Build Your Own" Luxeon K2 Electronics Kit with a 4 AAA batter holder. I'm also planning on using a sound/driver board (if they are offered again) and the speaker. Will there be enough room in this saber for all of this and enough room for the balde to be in the hilt a decent amount for support? Any help on this would be great.

The blade goes into the holder about 2" no matter which holder you use, and that'll be sufficient to hold it in there. Looks like you should have enough room to have the batteries in one of the grip sections and the board in another. Since the grip sections have smaller inner diameter than most of the MHS pieces, you probably won't be able to stack the board on top of the battery pack.

There is enough room for all of what you want to put in. Nice design:)
