    wire connectors take too much room. JST connectors are ok though, for the most part. also, don't do any thru-hole soldering on it either.

    Jst connectors are great for swapping led's but they are bulky, you can use micro jst connectors for switches and stuff (they dont take up much room at all) and yes they help immensly

    about your build: your design is very(very) strong.. so I really cant wait to see you upgrade this with some sound, imho it deserves it

    Very good looking saber. I love the black chrome.
    What's the thumb screw on the side of the sun gold "gear" piece?

    I may have to go back and do some work on it in the future, it might be a good FX conversion project... If I do go back, micro jst's!

    Thumb screw is for simulated blade length adjuster, gotta be able to cut through those doors

    Side note: my wifes not a huge SW fan, but she wants one now too. Though her's has to be small and have neon parts lol!

    Good first saber, I have the MHS gear part in sun gold on my saber as well, but at the other end of the hilt. Are you going to do any paint or shroud work on the grip area? I love that emitter, I think I have found the PC colour for my next saber. That looks just like weathered steel.
    You really must put a sound board in there, even if it is only a cheapy hasbro Obi 2011 sound card. It will just set this saber off.
    With the Blast Shield down I can't even see.. how am I supposed to fight

    x2 needs sound, the pc is awesome but i think a lighted AV switch would be cool too
