partslist for custom build/ first build
Thanks in advance for checking this out.
So on taking the advice that I have seen on the forum here I am thinking of building the chassis first and figuring out the outside later. I read that the pico crumble sits nicely in the NB chassis disc, so I used those and I want to make it pretty compact as its for a small 6 year old girl so i used the shorter 18500 battery. Because It is going to be styled somewhat off of Ahsoka's sabers from clone wars, I am going to have to machine the blade holder I think. Is there a way to make the chassis go from 1.25" to 1"id towards the end to hold the led in place?
Here is the wishlist from the store.

i would suggest a RGB Led. I know its a little harder to wire up- (you are wiring 3 less as opposed to 1)... but- one of the cool things with that saber is the ability to have 3 color profiles..... just my 2 cents. Im working on one for my 7 year old with a NB4- i will post a pic when I'm done.

If i switched to the RGB would I need to switch the lens as well? my concern is keeping it small as the end of the hilt will be only a 1" id? if i did switch, which would you recco? luxeon or the cree?
-
Yeah you should use the appropriate lens, the one with the 3 legs (and 3 focus pools).... I believe the Cree is conserved superior to the luxeon. Either should be fine for what you are doing. As far as the diameter... I have a couple single leds, but funny, haven't built anything with them. They appear to be of similar size, however I haven't stacked them on top of each other to compare. Make sure you get the proper resistors as well.... don't want to blow the leds.

Updated the list with the tri cree rgb

don't forget your resistors- i would get some all thread- you don't need the single lens holder...... might want a rice port- those boards take advantage of it. Also....... those chassis disks are made for use inside MHS material..... not sure what the fit will be like if you put it in something not from the store.
