I ran into a problem when putting the first parts of my saber together.
When I have the LED and heat sink in the hilt the blade holder does not line up properly(pics #3 & 4). The only way that I can think of to fix this would be to grind down the top, or bottom, of the heat sink so that the blade holder can make the last 1/8 of a turn. The only problem is that I don't want to unsolder my LED unless it is absolutely necessary and I also don't want the heat sink to be loose in the hilt and jiggle around.
Does anybody have any other suggestions? Should I just grind down the heat sink or should i buy another one?
I also thought of grinding down the bottom of the blade holder but I don't want to mess up the threading.
