I have been waiting for I don't know how long now, but the part are in the Netherlands as says USPS and need to get through customer clearance now. Hope the items will be delivered this week and I...

Well, the order has been placed, now I just have to wait for the part to arrive!
I will keep you posted as soon as they're here

Thanks for the tips. I don't think I'm gonna build a soundboard into this blade, since it's my first and I'm already trying to do a little extra with the AV switch, but I will keep it in mind for...

Thanks, I will look into it when I have the time.
Is this soundboard from one of those FX blades or those el cheapo plastic things?

With the red lights you need a 700mA BuckPuck, but the 4-wire variant is ok. Just change it to a 700mA version.
Also, you don't need any other stuff for the LED, like the new style heatsink. This is...

Well, for now I have removed it from my item list and will instal the AV switch without bezel. This because the switch design I want to use is not available as a long one.

Thanks for the tip, wasn't sure about it in the first place.
Even if I choose to use an AV bezel (out of cosmetic choice), do I still need the drilling?

Well, you can look at this and buy a fully prepared LED in one go: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Rebel-Star-LED-MHS-Heatsink-Module-P653.aspx
And for the duration of your LED and batteries: when...

I don't wanna sound like an expert by the way (I'm building my first sword too), but I have learned a lot in the past few days, so I'm just sharing thoughts.
You might want to look into my thread...

I'm also building a sword right now, but I didnt want to add sound do to the expensive soundboard from TCSS. How did you fix it with the hasbro board?

Why not use a 4AA battery pack and a buckpuck. The battery pack will easily fit your saber at this length and with these batteries last longer. The buckpuck will make sure your LED will keep its...

I'm already having a lot of fun just looking through the shop, searching for the items I like, thinking about my internal design (as I'm gonna use an AV switch on my first build).
If everything goes...

Here is a list of the items I'm gonna order.
Please notify me if I'm missing ANYTHING AT ALL!
- 7" Fluted with standard style switch hole (and service to drill it for AV switch)
- Ribbed / Choke...

After years of searching and waiting and thinking: "maybe some day", the day has finally come that I'm gonna build my very first saber!
Through this thread I like to keep you guys and garls posted...

I know what you're talking about, and that was what I was trying to explain but I couldn't find the right words.
Already added the right resistor for my switch LED (blade LED is going through...

I already looked into a few threads but couldn't find anything I was looking for. Could be (well, know it is) me I guess.
Thanks anyway for all you're reactions.
Gonna find out what resistor I'm...

Ok, after taking a another very close look at the wiring stuff and voltages/watts, I think my wiring idea is not gonna work.
My first idea was to connect the batterypack to the switch and then the...

One last thing (for now I hope).
I have already found the service for the switch hole. Is there also a service to let your blade holder be pre-drilled?

Thanks, I think I got everything now

Do you by any chance know what this costs (is it cheaper than an activation box) and how I add these costs to my order?

Thanks for the reply! Was really usefull for me.
I want to have the switch LED turn on when I turn on the blade and turn off when the blade is off. I already figured out how to wire that.
What I...

I have been looking around and have decided to go for a buckpuck, since its a bit easier for a first time. And I can always buy other parts later and instal those.
But how will the wireing go from...

The LED won't be a problem, as will the blade be. i have already found those items in the shop and the exact ones i want to use.
What I need is some help with the button and the resistor.
The...

thnx, and i was already afraid that was gonna happen :p
