Build/Parts List Check: MHS CFX In-Hilt RGB Tri Cree LED

[Valcarion]

The time has come!

Dad and I decided to start a new Father-Son project this holiday, and we settled on building lightsabers! This will be our first lightsaber build ever. I know it's advised to start super simple for a first build, but as this is a Father-Son project, and my dad is extremely well versed in electronics and mechanical know-how, we decided to go big. Below is a list of parts, the MHS Builder design, and a diagram depicting the chassis and wiring. A note on the chassis: I'm using a NB sized chassis for the CFX, as the CF doesn't fit, and I saw a thread here that showed how to modify a NB style chassis slot to accommodate a CFX board.
