Hi all, so first time building a saber and while I have experience with wiring, I was hoping someone could check my internal parts list and give me some yay/nay feedback?
So you'll know my overall goal, I'm doing a purple blade with a 9"-10" basic hilt with no sound and a recharge port in the pommel.
Onto my list:
- 18650 3.7V 3400mAh Rechargeable Battery
Red/Green/Royal Blue Cree XP-E2
1ohm 2w resistor for the blue1.5ohm-5w resistor for the redMomentary Purple Ring Switch
DynaOhm Resistor or 270ohm 1/4w resistorMomentary to latching converter 2.5-7.0v
Recharge Port
Pommel Insert 3 plus kill plug and clips
Heatsink V3 (and appropriate lens and thermal pads)
Various appropriate chassis parts
And I already have wire and heatshrink in my workroom.
Basically am I correct in thinking I can do this with resistors instead of a buckpuck? and if so, are these the correct resistors for a purple blade?
I've spent 3 months reading through the forums and using LED calculators and planning this out so I hope I'm not wasting anyone's time with this.
Thanks!!
