Hello all. I have been wanting to start on a Darth Nihilus 501st costume and I figured why not start with the saber?

I am not new to prop making or electronics, due to my 501st membership and building a 1:1 scale R2 unit, so this definitely seems like something I can do.

I've been reading around these found and watching a ton of YouTube videos. All of the available information is so awesome.

I am thinking of going with a holocron hilt with a Prizm board with a RGrB tried cree LED. Due to some feedback on holocrons hilt being a bit unstable, I am going to try to machine one myself.

I am a bit worried about using the proper resistors and have check out the stickied threads on the topic but am still a bit confused. I found a sweet install tutorial by Shameem that I am going to use for reference on the build.

Anyway, it's nice to meet you all and thanks again for supplying such a huge wealth of information!
