    Talking Help for my First Saber Eletronic parts

    Hello, im new here
    i live im brazil, and i want to make my first saber
    i already have one from ultrasabers

    i want to buy only the essential parts to make the saber or else is cheaper to buy one already constructed

    im going to construct the hilt with the things i found here, like pvc sink tube

    so i make a list the things i want to buy
    let me know if i really need all or something is missing
    thanks

    4AA Battery holder
    Seoul P4 (Green)
    Collimator Lens 5° viewing angle
    3.3ohm 5w resistor
    Push on/push off switch with black button
    Luxeon III/P4 Lens Holder
    Star thermal tape pad
    Heat Sink shim for Rebel stars

    that is for the eletronic parts

    and for the blade, i think its all this

    Shouldered 1" thick walled blade tip with reflective disc
    Blade film (Single wrap, 1" Thick walled)
    40" LED blade diffuser for 1" thick walled blades
    1" Thick walled Polycarbonate 40" long

    i want the blade for battle

    im right?

    thanks

    you will not need the "Heat Sink Shim for rebel stars". you only need that if you use a rebel star Led but you are using a p4 so you dont need it.
    you WILL NEED a Heat Sink and some sort of blade holder. I'll look over your list when I have more time but I think thats it, I hope that helps

    No heatsink shim

    You will need a BH holder though

    Make sure your switch is latching.

    The Push-on-Push-off momentary switch acts like a latching switch. I keep trying to tell people that.

    Thats the old school switch and YES she's correct (as always). I'm sure CardCollector read it as if he were using an AV type switch (not many actually use the slide or older push on/off switch with the rubber boot anymore.. So your both correct, Yes he needs a latching type switch, and Yes the switch he has chosen does act as a latching(its been confirmed many times).

    But yeah No shim, add Blade holder (which will come with a heat sink for your LED)

    I hope this helps

    Yeah, I wasnt thinking about the basic switch...

    Sorry for not clarifying...
