DM, techincal question... I am creating a PVC Force Unleashed Saber, in the picture it shows the anti Vandal switch in the upper portion of the hilt. I have built the hilt but due to the size of the Vandal switch am concerned about the fit due to the blade and LED locations... I know I will have to use a box to bring the switch up some from the PVC, but as you know things get tight in there. I am thinking a ribbon cable and moly connectors. The ribbon cable could be flattened and hot glued down, but I am afraid it wont hold down even if the LED is aft of the switch a little bit... I was also thinking of a smaller wire than ribbon. I am almost willing to try building a sled at this point so I only have to worry about two wires to hold in plce up forward... What are your thoughts on forward switch placement?

Thanks

Hey DM, I just started painting 3 new sabers for the neighbor kids and tried out the pommel system you displayed in your step by step.
How do you get the threads to fit into the adapter so far? I can hardly get two turns and it tightens down so hard I can't budge it any further. I tried cutting off threads on the male side, sanding down the female acceptor side, but didn't work that great .... Do you run into this prob? - mace

It gives a flicker and sound effect if left alone, and then I think it does shut down, but I will double check and let you know for sure.

pics and MP4 are up of my new saber!
