    Question My very first saber! I wan't to make sure I have everything I need.

    Hello everyone! This will be my very first build! This is what I have so far.

    - MHSV1 Blade Holder Style 1

    - 8-32 x 3/8" Stainless Steel thumb screw

    - Hilt style 2 (Machine recessed 16mm AV switch hole)

    - Pommel style 3

    - MPS Insert style 11

    - Rebel Star LED & MHSV1 Heatsink Module (Luxeon Rebel Star (Deep Red) / Heat Sink V3 (Long Style))

    - BuckPuck 700mA 4-wire

    - 7.4v Li-ion 1050mAh 14650 Battery Pack

    - Push on/push off switch with black button

    - Black rubber switch boot

    - "Corbin style" Show blade 1" OD (40 inches / Double Wrap / Bullet Shaped)

    - 16mm Anti Vandal Latching Red Ring Switch

    I want to make sure everything was going to work together.
    Thank you everyone in advance!

    *** a couple of Answers to Questions I'm sure will be asked! ***

    Do I know what I'm doing?
    No, I am a quick learner though, and I looked around some of the beginers threads.

    Have I built a lot of things?
    Yes, Including working with lots of metal.

    Have I worked with electronics/soldering?
    A little bit, mostly just repairing things though, and I have never worked with LEDs.

    Am I aware that 40" is a VERY long blade?
    Yes, I'm a tall guy, and I'm strong, and I just think it would look super cool.

    What do I want to do with this saber?
    Keep it in my apartment and enjoy looking at (and swinging around) something I built.

    Thanks again for any help or advice!

    It looks to me like you have 2 switches...was that by design or accident?

    By ignorance. I thought that the [Push on/push off switch with black button] had the wires/electronics that i needed. Then I could replace the "Button" part with the significantly more attractive [16mm Anti Vandal Latching Red Ring Switch]

    Will the latter have everything I need?

    Thank you very much!

    Yes. Since you don't have a sound board, any of the latching switches will do the job. You won't need two.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.
