I think you should go with what looks good to you. Personally I'm not sure I think that switch would look good on your saber but that might just be me. I might feel differently if I SAW it installed on the saber.

That said, I'm actually liking the one in the middle with the blue ring.

I will go with what looks good to me the problem is they both look great to me i just cant decide LOL. i also like the blue on in the middle but for mine i the accent light color to be different from the blade

So Still waiting on my RCS and switch holders, but while i was waiting i found the most AWESOME thing ever. CERAKOTING. it is mainly used for firearms. it is a very thin ceramic coating about .001 in thick and it extremely durable you could take a nail to it and it wouldnt scratch it. so i am having my buddy cerakote my saber in the same colors as it already was. so excited to have that done. the cerakote will never wear off nor do i need to clear coat it to make it do so.

[patolcott]

the cerakote will be done at the end of the week cant wait to post the pics

[patolcott]

UGH this build is killing me All i want to do is work on it but I literally cannot do anything till I have my chassis and switch holders. well at least my cerakoting is done I will post pics of it when i pick it up.

[patolcott]

YAY!!!! finally got it back from my bud who does cerakoting. it is a little lighter of a color than originally thought of but hey Kyp was more of a greyish jedi anyway.


little blurry not sure why





All ceramic coating designed to protect whatever you coat from wear and tear no scratches in that stuff. And I did have him media blast a couple of the pieces as you can see. cant wait to get my RCS once that is done I can really start the planning for the electrical tomorrow I am going to put the kobold D ring on as well as the blade retention screw, cant add the Accent LED switches or faux blade adjust dial.

I have some great new pics coming up I received my switch holders so I was able to do all my drilling. However I have a quick question... I don't want to have to use a kill key so if I put a switch on the "HOT" wire going to the recharge port that should work as a kill key right?
