    Default New to Lightsaber Scene -- building new lightsaber

    Hey all,
    I just recently got into the lightsaber scene. After purchasing a lightsaber from (don't kill me) Ultrasabers, I've decided that I was to fully customize my own.
    I've been talking to a friend of mine about the parts I need; here's my parts list as is:
    • Hilt style 4 with machine guarded switch hole 1.5? from end
    • Double ended male threaded connector style 1
    • 4? double female grooved without holes
    • MPS Pommel style 4
    • MHSV1 blade holder style 10
    • MHS Heat sink V3
    • Red Cree XP-E2 CopperNova
    • 4AA Battery Holder with JST connector
    • 16mm Anti Vandal latching red ring switch
    • LED TCSS Show blade 1? OD

    I believe that the only supplies that I need now are tools for the wiring and a buckpuck and a resistor (for the LED on the switch and the blade LED).

    Any suggestions for electronics besides the LED and switch are welcome!

    Do not forget about:

    MPS inserts and a C clip to hold the insert into the pommel. Also, you will want to get a buckpuck or a resistor of some sort for your LED.

    Wise words do not distinguish a Consular, but the choices they make.

    True, I forgot about the insert and C clip.

    I'm not sure what buckpuck or resistor to purchase, though. I'm also not sure how to wire the setup correctly.

    if it is for a simple stunt saber, then you will choose either resistor or buckpuck.
