First Ever Build

[Experienced Noob]

Hey, everybody!

This is my first time building a saber with TCSS and I'm a little tentative about a few things, so I thought I might get a little help from some more-experienced saber builders. Here's my parts list if someone would like to look over it and point out what I'm missing and/or don't need.

Body Parts
Hilt Style 4 w/ 16mm AV Switch Hole
MSV1 Blade Holder Style 25
MHS Choke Style 2
MPS Insert Style 12
Trim Ring 3
MPS Pommel Style 4
MPS Clip

Electronics
Nano Biscotte Sound Module V2
Luxeon Tri-Rebel Star (G/G/W)
Panasonic Li-Ion 18650 3.7V 3400mAh PCB Protected Rechargeable Battery
16mm AV Short Momentary Green Ring Switch
2W 28mm Bass Speaker
2.1mm Power Jack
Green LED Indicator
NB Header and Wiring Harness

Miscellaneous
MHS ?New Style? Heat Sink V3
MHS Speaker Mount V5 - For 28mm Speakers
Kill Plug Style 2
Acryllic Chassis Disks for NB and 18500/18650 Pack - S3
D-Ring Belt Mount
Luxeon 18deg Tri-Rebel Star Lens
Star Thermal Tape Pad

I haven't included heatshrink tubing or wiring, on account of I'm not sure which size or how much I should order. Any advice on that would be greatly appreciated.

Looks pretty good. don't forget resistors for your LEDs

Resistors are another thing I know little to nothing about, but I've heard about resistors calculators (or something like that) elsewhere on this forum. Any tips?

Personally, I would suggest really learning Ohm's Law. However if you find Silver Serpent's signature, he has a link to one there.

I researched Ohm's Law like you suggested and I feel like I have a pretty good handle on it. However, the resistors I need are currently out of stock. I was also wondering about wire and heatshrink. Any tips on that?

Did you ever get the parts and build it? I'm interested to see how the v5 speaker holder works out since it's on my list, too.

I see that you are using a G/G/W LED. If you are planning on using the Flash On Clash capability of the NBv2, then you will need the small Power Extender card:

Happy Building!
