After some months of using the saber I built using parts purchased here, I'm thinking I might like to change the mounting method for my internals.
I currently have this speaker / battery holder:

with a 14500 Trustfire Li-Ion and a dummy cell to provide the proper 3.7v my NBv2 needs, and a 2w bass speaker for sound.
I'm thinking I'd like to switch to a v4 speaker holder, 18500 Li-Ion battery module, and maybe the S3 discs (with an all thread rod & some 4-40
hex nuts to hold it all together).
In a previous post/thread, I mentioned how my blue ring switch kinda fell apart last time I dis-assembled my saber for repairs (which as it turned
out the problem was a broken micro SD card). I replaced the switch with a short av switch sourced locally and found it's so short I can't thread
the nut with even a short bezel. Because of this, my new switch has a couple high spots on the sides of the saber. The only solution I can think
of is to order a new main body with either a recessed 16mm hole, or a box that can accommodate a super short 16mm switch and a recharge
port. The only setup I can think of which might work is box 1, with top style 1, although both parts are currently out of stock.
On the S3 chassis disc description page, it says it will not work with mws NB sound card, but I thought I saw a post on these forums where the
person made it work by slipping both discs over the side of the card opposite where the MWS plug is mounted.
I am a little hesitant about starting this upgrade process because 1) my saber seems to work ok the way it is, although with a somewhat short
run time due to the low capacity but very budget friendly battery, and 2) the cost of the new parts, although it would leave me with a good
starting point to building a second saber. If I do get the battery upgrade, I know I would need a new charger as the TR-001 (my current one)
lacks a 2.1mm plug.
