    Default First Saber, check my parts please

    Hi, this is my first time making a lightsaber and I was wondering if I'm missing any parts. Thanks for the help!


    Pommel Style 5
    Insert Style 6
    MPS Clip
    MHS Ribbed Extension
    5" Double Female Threaded Connector (put buttons here, recessed AV switch hole)
    Blade Holder #25
    Include V3 heat sink
    8-32 x 1/8" Set screw (blade retention screw)
    MHS Sleeve Material (optional, dunno if I want to do it just yet)

    MWS short momentary 16mm AV Switch - Nickel in Blue
    MWS Recharge Port (2.1mm switchcraft jack)
    Tri-Cree LED (RbRbW)
    Luxeon 18deg Tri-Rebel Star Lens

    Yes, you'll need some resistors for your Tri-Cree LED dice. You'll also want some kind of chassis to hold your electronics in place, so they don't just bounce around inside the hilt. TCSS has some excellent chassis parts that are very easy to assemble, and will keep your expensive electronics quite secure in your saber.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    Alright, thanks so much!

    One more question: The chassis is only for holding the soundboard and the PeX so they don't touch the inner wall of the hilt correct? I see that there are chassis parts for a recharge port, but I would like to have my recharge port next to my AV switch, and I don't know how a chassis would fit around a switch
