First saber build some neopixel questions

[Tom Tilmon]

Thank you for the tip on the extra led and fold over suggestion. That thought came across my mind at work today. I will definatly try that out when i get the strips in. I had read some people had said about possibly trimming the strip but i had seen alot more about not doing it cause the inherent risk of damage so not going that route.
Also tim, i really liked the durability tests you did. Would love to see some heavy sparring if you have any videos of it.

I havne't done any heavy sparring, just hit a tree with a Heavy Grade blade. I don't suggest that with thin walled, but thick walled survive just fine.

I can see it splitting or cracking with heavy hits. I was a bit rough with toys as a kid and have memories of testing the durability of most of them!
Also I think im gonna do a build log of my first saber. Kind of commerating it.
Should have my first set of parts tomorrow woohoo.
