Exiled my first saber build
This is my first saber build. I am waiting on delivery so all I have are renders. What I like is the many options I have for assembly. I can make many different looks with the same parts.

OK if anyone can help me figure out which paint to use(one not baked on) to paint this. will I need a primer and if so which. I have been looking for days and am so lost.

No one has an opinion on my first build? Maybe after the parts arrive and I get it assembled more people will have something to say. I was just looking for some kind of input on the look.
Oh and does anyone know the exact inner diameter of the choke style 1 and the grooved extension? If so please post for me.
Welcome to the Forums.
People don't always post immediately once someone posts something around here.
The chokes have an ID of .8" and the ribbed section ID is 1.15".
Being able to re-arrange things without electronics inside is a great feature of the MHS system. However, once you get electronics inside, it does become quite a bit harder. Typically, people come up with a design they like (and can execute) and that becomes the finished saber.

"Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before... you want blindingly bright, super loud, running 1138 blinkies off of the cheapest sound card you can find AND you want all of it to run on a battery the size of a dime, and run for a very, VERY long time. That one cracks me up every time..."

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah I am pretty set one one of tthe layouts but I plan to use JST connections everywhere so I can add extenders if I need to to move things arround. I have done some custom wiring on a few elaborate custom computer towers so I know the headachs that can arise if you don't plan ahead. This being a stunt saber makes it a bit easier since I don't have to worry about a speaker and sound board. But again thanks for the welcome.Originally Posted by Forgetful Jedi Knight
welcome
being a stunt saber, you should be ok for rearranging, but once a few more things are added, those JST connectors start to take up a lot of space fast!
Good luck on the build, and not a bad design, longer than I like personally, but to each his own, enjoy it, and brace your wallet!

Saber building in a nut shell, as told by a smuggler
Ahhhhhhhhhh I hate waiting on stuff. I am so impatient. I wish I would have had the money for overnight shipping. But I would still have to wait for them to actually ship it.I know it takes time to get orders together but I hate waiting. I feel like a kid the night before christmas.
yay my parts are on the way. they should be here in like 2 days. I so can't wait
I hate the USPS. The tracking said the expected eelivery date was today but it didn't come. I was so amped to get this saber built. Now I have to wait another day. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I hate waiting.
Well I got it finished. Now I juat nee to get it painted the way I want but it looks good so far
