How to?
I recently posted a thread titled "Is it possible". Basically, In that thread I wanted to know if it was possible to have two removable blades for my M.R. Anakin R.O.T.S. lightsaber (A Makotosai red LED blade, and the original blue LED blade it came with).
I figured it would be possible, but I wanted to make sure it was before I (potentially) jacked up the saber.
Now I need help from some experienced sabersmiths, to tell me how I can do this.
Im not tech savy, AT ALL. So a bunch of numbers and abbreviations need to be explained to me.
This is what I know so far.
What I am wanting to do is possible.
I will need 66 Makotosai red LEDs.
I will need a quick connect (which model, idk.)
I will need a new blade (up for suggestion on how thick and long).
And I might need a metal blade holder (idk about this yet, I dont want to spend too much money.)
Many thanks to Rafalema for the help he already gave me. ^^^
I should have all the tools I need except for the heat shrink.
I was told the estimated price might be $70. Thats about $15 dollars over what I wanted to spend at the max. If the price could be brought down from $70 (through cheaper products), that would be great.
You might ask if I want to duel with the blade. The answer is yes. But if this means adding $30 dollars on top of the $70, then I will stick with the blade holder that came with the sword.
I have done much research and reading. So much reading, that I have literally gotten out of the chair, screamed (a manly scream of course ), and took a good break. So I know a little.
Basically what Im asking for is a list of parts, and instructions. I know there are instructions all over the site, and I have seen and read MANY of them. But none of them seem to be exactly what I need, or they only cover 1 topic. And thats where it stops for me, Im not tech savy, so I have no idea in the world what to do next, and then it starts back at ground zero in my mind.
So, if someone could take the time to help me, that would be wonderful!!!
P.S. I want to have this saber complete before my birthday in May. So Im on somewhat of a time crunch.

Rafalema, Idk how to thank you! You have made my day!
So why do you suggest a 7 pin connecter at the least?

Because they are round and fit inside 1" bladeholders. Do a search and you'll see.

OKay, DIN connecter is is! Im guessing that instead of connecting the DIN connecter straight to the batteries (like in the tutorial), Im going to connect in the MRFX sound board?
-
Okay so, a DIN connecter is still what I am planning on using, but are there any other kind of cables that would work? Reason being, I have a lot of extra cables at my house that are not being used. So if there is a cable here that could be used, I would rather use that than spend extra money on something I didn't have to spend on.

Oh, lol, idk the names of them all. I figured you would name other cables that would work and I would look it up and see if I had it. But thats okay, I think Ill stick with the DIN.
So do you have a certain site you would suggest for the DIN? Something cheap, but will work?
