Thoughts on design
Not a parts list yet, but a design render. The idea is to go smaller and less clunky than many (including the other two I've made.) It will have a nano board, a single 18650 (don't think 2 would fit even if I wanted them) and a tri-rebel.
It'll need a momentary switch, a recharge port, 2 resistors for the tri-rebel assuming using two dies for the blade and?
Thoughts? Suggestions?

With what you have, it will be a very tight fit. And with all the small parts at the back (gear section, very short extension), I'm not sure you're going to be able to get the speaker, chassis disks, the NB, etc, in there. Plus I think that box will be over threads (a no-no). YOu may want to put in a longer extension piece just before the gear section, that should help you out a lot.

FJK is right, you'd need more space, but I'd go with a longer pommel of some sort and run the speaker down into it. Maybe a customized http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/MP...long-P505.aspx. Also, use a 2" DF with http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Ac...le-8-P637.aspx. As it so happens, I've built one like your design with a PC but I checked my CAD model and with a few alterations a NB/18650 would work. Space is tight. Speaker sitting on the pommel insert kind of tight... I can throw a pic or two at you if you want.

I was wondering if the NB would fit turned sideways. That would make more space, too. I think I'll probably have to order some parts and see how things fit with the battery in the choke. That's the $64k question at this point.
Nice saber, I expect she really liked it.
