Hi,

I've just completed 3 sabers, all of the same design - a short extension housing an exposed recharge port, a chassis with battery and CFX board, all connected to an activation switch in the hilt. With both the recharge port and activation switch sitting on the outside of the hilt, they obviously provide a non-moveable point, and so, as I screw the hilt into the extension, all the wires keep getting twisted inside. I'm concerned about breaking a wire if I do this too often.

Is there any way around this with that design? Or, should I just float the recharge port inside the extension (sitting within its own chassis disks), so that the only connection to the hilt body is through the activation switch? I think this would solve the twisting problem. A little more inconvenient because I'd need to unscrew the extension to get at the recharge port, but that may be a worthwhile trade-off.

Am I thinking about this correctly?

Thanks
Mike
