I was looking into building a saber. I started looking a couple months ago but some things came up and I did not have the time to actually purchase anything.
I want to be 100% sure that I have everything I will need for a basic Saber.
I have gone through the two posts below to double check that I will be purchasing everything I need however I see they are a few years old and some of the pieces have changed.

Would all of this work? i ahve some extra wires as well as heatshrink and other tools to complete it.
What I noticed was Buckpucks and Resistors. Are they needed for a basic single LED? or is that already Included somewhere and I missed it?
I am also trying to stay on the cheaper side as this is my first build and if I do mess something up, it wont be as big of a deal. Trying to stay under $100 for right now until i have done this a time or two and then may get into a more advanced option.
Please feel free to advise other options as well. Thank you so much for any input!
Notes: I know some of these are currently out of stock and I will keep an eye out for when they are available.
Also, I have a threading tool to save some money, would a chrome sink saber be easier/cheaper to machine myself with the proper tools?
