Saber for the Lady

Now that's really cool. Great idea. That's a good way to create easy access to the plugs.

I actually plan on using this one and making the center hole on the pommel cap large enough to fit the charge plug into. That way I wont even have to remove it to charge the saber or put the kill key in.

Really interested in seeing what you do with those switches.

Im planning on building them into the chassis so they sit just inside the handle. Ill be using a couple of cabochons (pink lab opal, amethyst) for the covering push-buttons.

The 2.1 mm charge port will screw right into that with no mods or you can strip the threads and it will free float in there.

Hey, gimmie some credit here! I mean Im going to tap out the center hole in the actual pommel cap. So that I can fit the charger plug through it to reach where the MPS insert is seated inside. As such:

Lol, no. Thats why a picture is worth a 1,000 words.

You know, now that Im looking at it, it would be friggin sweet to make the 8 holes in the pommel cap the housings for an 8 LED PLI. Discreet. If I didnt need them for sound. I think Im going to tap a few holes/slots around the choke point of the pommel for more sound too.

That would be pretty awesome.

How/where are you going to mount those tactile switches? I really like that idea with something small and discrete!
