    Post First time builder, just wanted someone to double check my parts list

    Electronics
    Proffie soundboard
    Panasonic Li-Ion 18650 3.7V 3400mAh PCB Protected Rechargeable Battery
    Switchcraft 2.1mm Power Jack
    12mm Anti Vandal Momentary Red Ring Switch
    Saber Essentials 28mm Stealth V2 Speaker
    Pixel PCB Hilt side connector and 7 pins combo
    recharge port kill plug style 6
    switch, m5 momentary

    Blade
    sk6812 144 led neopixel strips x 2
    foam tube
    resistor, 330ohm smd 0603
    1" Thick walled Trans White PolyC 40" long
    Blade Tip
    1" Thick Walled Pixel Blade Adapter

    Crystal Chamber
    5mm RGB LED

    Hilt
    MPS Pommel style 3 v2
    MPS Clip
    MPS Insert
    MHS Extension Blank Style 1
    5" Double female threaded connector
    MHSv1 Blade Holder Style 4
    Lube
    Retention Screw

    I think one of my friends has wire and shrink wrap so I didn't include it on the list. I'm also getting a 3d printed chassis so I didn't include it on my list.

    In terms of tools I have a soldering iron, 3d printer helping hands, multimeter.

    Is there anything else that I need or should get before building? Thanks!

    Hey @the_senate ! Welcome to TheTCSSForum! Here's a couple of things that I could think of that you might need...

    1. Resistors for your AV Switch's LED and 5mmRGB LED
    2. A set of Wire Cutters/Strippers... https://www.digikey.com/en/products/...A70057/1850296 (You probably have these if you already have a soldering iron, but I thought it'd be a good reminder)
    3. A Pair (or three) of Magnifying Glasses (3.50 Magnification) ... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IQCO1O4...ing=UTF8&psc=1
    4. A set of Tweezers...
    a. These are O.K. but need tweaking to get the tips perfectly aligned... https://www.digikey.com/en/products/...070001/5488233
    b. These are very nice 316L Stainless Steel, but a bit short overall, and a little pricey... https://www.digikey.com/en/products/...-6-ITU/9664472
    c. Basically the same as the above set, but a different stiffness (I can't tell the difference)... https://www.digikey.com/en/products/...-6-ITU/9664469
    d. Same as 'b' but 304 Stainless Steel and 1/3 the price... https://www.digikey.com/en/products/...-B-ITE/9924689
    e. Same as 'c' but 304 Stainless Steel and 1/3 the price... https://www.digikey.com/en/products/...-B-ITE/9664481
    5. Isopropyl Alcohol and some Q-Tips to clean up your Flux after soldering. (You probably have these if you already have a soldering iron, but I thought it'd be a good reminder)
    6. Battery Charger... https://www.thecustomsabershop.com/L...rgers-C86.aspx
    I have this one, (Xtar VP2) but my battery/batteries is/are removeable... https://www.illumn.com/batteries-cha...v-charger.html

    I hope this helps you a bit! Good Luck on your build!

    1" Thick walled Trans White PolyC 40" long
    Blade Tip
    1" Thick Walled Pixel Blade Adapter

    Crystal Chamber
    5mm RGB LED Since you have a neopixel blade, you can illuminate your crystal chamber with scrap neopixels from making your blade. It'll occupy less fets on your Proffie. A common anode RGB LED occupies 3 fets. Neopixel only 1.

    Hilt
    MPS Pommel style 3 v2
    MPS Clip
    MPS Insert
    MHS Extension Blank Style 1
    5" Double female threaded connector

    See my comments in red on your post. Good luck. Is this a MHS build?
