Use of a choke?

[AZNmastermind]

Hu guys,

New to sabers and Ive been doing some reading but Im not sure if its required to use a choke. I want to make a short compact hilt, but the choke keeps making it too long. If I am just putting LEDs in the hilt, no sound, can I fit it all in the hilt without a choke?

No. You do not need to use a choke as part of your build.

That's the beauty of the Modular Hilt System....you can build it however you want. There really is no right or wrong way of assembling a saber. Of course that also depends on how detailed your build is.

I believe the most compact electronics set up I've seen was around the 5.5" mark...give or take a 1/2".

Take a look around the forums and I'm sure you'll come across a multitude of ways to pack all the components that you plan to use in your saber. Good Luck!

Awesome! Thanks for the response.

My only concern is that the switch is going to block heat sink from being able to fully sit in the main body

can always move the switch to another location. if you're making a hilt with one of the main bodies, you can just replace the main body with a 7in extension or however long you want, and then make your own switch hole

I only use a choke when someone has failed me for the last time, or I find their lack of faith disturbing.

if the heat sink is in the way you could remove the back side of the heatsink. I have multiple times to save space and its hasnt messed or over heated anything at all. I have fit a PC, 14500 stick pack, and speaker with mount in a 4 inch deep fluted exstension cram-fu is fun

but also if your using a main body piece and a blade holder you should still be able to fit the switch, ive done it.

Can a dremel type tool do that?
