I was going to comment, after looking through the beginning of the thread, that it'd look better with a shorter stalk and one of tim's bezel nuts...
And I was right! It does look alot better with Tim's bezel. Though, tbh, I still think that the switch stalk is rather...tall. I think it'd be even better if you used a momentary from the store, or further modified your switch so that the stalk is about "normal" height (compared to the switches Tim sells).
Great work as always with your overlays!

Great looking saber Jay. Are you using the recharge port as a recharge port or just a kill port. In one of you earlier post I remember you saying that you thought that the spring in the holder would damage the circuit board on the batteries if you left them in for too long. I was just wondering if you had changed your mind, because I was thinking about a rechargeable Trustfire setup.
Looks really good Jay, nice work.

Necro post for a little update to this one!!
I finally broke down and decided to change out the gawd-awful switch on this one, and make a few other improvements while I was at it:
New, Updated version of BS-11:
I changed the activation button to the new gold plated version sold here in the store, swapped the white K2 out for a green Lux III, and then sanded and polished the aluminum sections of the hilt. It still uses the Ultrasound 2.1 and the protected Trustire Li-Ion batteries and a 2.1mm re-charge port.

Much nicer looking switch, Jay. It fits the look of the saber so much better.
I did notice it looked shinier, before I saw that you said you'd polished it.
Nice update.

Aww, too bad.
Costuming's not for everyone.

Is that why you changed the blade color--because she isn't going to be using it anymore? That's such a great looking saber; one of my favorites of yours.
Partly. The Luxeon K2 drains the batteries faster than the Luxeon III green will.
