    Nothing looks out of place or missing.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    This hobby is definitely adicting isn't it?

    Looks like a good list so far, if you're interested in doing a chamber/chassis, you will probably have to seperate your main body into smaller pieces. Use a couple double female extentions connected with the 1/4" double male connector, that way you can lock the chassis/chamber in place.

    Take a look at my build, it should give you some ideas on how to intigrate a chamber/cassis into your build.

    I've only built one hilt so far that isn't a single piece. I don't see any particular reason it would need to be any other way, it all depends on how your buttons, etc work. Greenfield made a saber that the entire inside comes out of!

    Yup, but I think Naasad wants to utilize the chamber disks so they lock in that way... I mean i have only about 4 inches for the speaker holder, aswell as the 18650 and the PRIZM... I thought it would be enough (0.75+0.5+1+0.5 as a maximum is 3.75). Am i right? or should i go safe with the 8/9 inch double female extension? Or is the saber too long then, as it's full lenght would be over 13 inches? Sorry if I messed something up though
