I was debating using some brass accents for my saber build and was talking to my girlfriend about some problems I was trying to solve about the pieces, her response was, "why not copper plate instead?". Side note, if your partner's comments about your saber building is, "hey why don't we try some home electroplating" you know you've found the one.
So, that's had be redesigning my idea a bit and thinking about copper plating some pieces like some trim rings, the MPS insert, and possibly the activation box. Any concerns with fit if I were to plate these? For the trim rings I was imagining that the slight increase in thickness might impact the clocking, but I could probably solve that with a little bit of sanding and not finalising the clocking until after the plating process, but I'm more worried about the MPS insert and the switch box. Any experiences to share?
