    You should be able to fit all that in a 5" Hilt. I just did one with a soundboard and a 6" hilt. Just have Tim drill the hole for the switch as far up as it can go with out hitting the Heatsink lug, which extends down 3/8ths past the lip the heatsink sits on. So thats exactly 1 inch down from one end of a body section, The puck can be hot glued flat to the front of the battery pack and you will have all the room you need

    If you're new, please take the time we all consider just as precious as you and READ!

    Thanks, Fender! That was really helpful! I was getting my robes in a twist over that, actually. I really wanted a very, obscenely small hilt for my off handed saber so that's really good to know! Between myself, and my husbands' awesome Tetris skillz we should be able to get it all in there safely, as long as we have the room!

    Everyone has been incredibly helpful, thanks to all!

    Yup, FenderBender is right. I used a 5" extension as the main body for this saber:

    I put the switch in the pommel, but there was enough extra space with the battery pack and buck puck installed that I'm sure there would be enough room for the illuminated switch.

    Oh, thanks for that, Darth Mintcakes. It's good to know. The last thing I need is to get it all here and for it not to fit. That would be a barrel of fun.

    (BTW, I love your name! )

    Hey guys I'm fairly new to this whole saber building thing. I have a standard stunt UltraSaber and I want to put an illuminated latching switch in. These diagrams are great and all, except that mine doesn't have a buckpuck, just a regular LED. under normal circumstances, I'd just buy one and wire everything the way it is here. However, they're out of stock right now. So I was wondering if someone could draw up a schematic for me that makes sense? Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.
