If your end goal is dueling with this saber I'd rethink that gender changer and put in a double male connector instead for much added strength in that joint. Those gender changers can be a weak spot IMHO.

Thanx for the tip Quix, I had heard that the gender changers were kinda weak, but I couldn't find a double male connector that would accomplish what I had in mind as far as look & function went without adding extra length to my already long hilt, I'll have to go back into the store & see what other options I can find.

So I did some more searching & I found a double male connector that only adds about 1/4" to the overall length so I'll be using that instead of the gender changer & hopefully this will solve the strength issue...below is the revised render with the double male connector between the extentions (inside the red circle)

Looks like a good plan so far! I actually put the same parts together in the builder a couple months ago trying to find the closest I could get to Starkiller with MHS parts, so I am glad we are on the same page!
I look forward to seeing what you come up with for some of the more challenging aspects of this saber, it may inspire me to dust off my plans and build my own version!

Thanx Cire...I think I've got myself a pretty good heading so far & as soon as parts become available, I will start collecting them as I'm able.
Keep checking back & I'll post progress as it happens.

Hey vode, haven't posted in here for a while, been doing more research & I have changed my hilt components a couple times.
I'm toying with another component change & I wanted to get your opinion on something. I'm now thinking about using activation box style 1 on my hilt & using the PLI in the store in it, my question is this, is it possible to cover the PLI to protect it? The pics show it completely exposed on top of box 1.
Thank in advance for your input on this

Use some clear heat shrink over the pli before you bolt it down

By the way, what are your new plans for hilt components?
-
Thanx for the tip Cire, was kinda looking for a way to hide the PLI inside the activation box.
As far as the changes go, it won't be anything major...just making the activation box "functional" & adding an extra level to the chassis so the speaker sits in a different position inside the grip.
