Hello everyone !  I'm very excited to share with all of you my latest project. Ultrasabers DIY Dark Initiate V2 with Obi Wan Econo Sound !
This is the THIRD obi board !  I broke or fried the other two trying to fit them into this hilt. Not very easy. But I did it !! 
 
Specs: 
P4 Green,
Obi wan econo sound,
4 AAA Battery pack,
TCSS premium speaker,
Matching covertec wheel,
3 Accent holes,
24" TCSS TransWhite Thin wall Blade.

Heres some Pics !  Vid at bottom.  Hope you guys and gals like : )

It took some time figuring out just the right way to use Cram-Fu !

Nice customizations!  How do the TCSS trans white blades compare to the Ultra-edge?  Do they light evenly even without diffuser film?

Thanks : )    Yeah They light really evenly, The only time it looks like they dont is when your in direct light, at that point it seems a little dim around the "neck" area closer to the tip but its hardly noticeable at all. I think the bullet tip may affect it differently too but not sure. Great blades though.  Thanks again !

Man, That's hot. I really like the 3 access holes. That sound board seems really sensitive compared to mine. Though I'll think about attempting my own build after seeing how much trouble you had. Shocked

Yeah, for this hilt in particular, I would take caution. Its not very easy to stuff all that in there. The resistor took up a lot of extra room. I used a 4.7ohm 5w cause thats what I had extra. The green p4 only needs a 3.3ohm 5w but you can always go up but not down. While they are the same size resistor, its the type. But with care it can be done. Good luck to ya. : )   And thanks everyone for the great words.

any way you could get the saber to not flicker when it clashed?

I'm not sure if it is possible. If it is, then its way to complicated for me lol. Econo Clash Flash for an Econo soundboard.  Can't beat that for $20 !  I like it  : )

The only way it fit in there is by way of Cram-fu.  What i mean is.... With the extra parts that are wired up and the way I, so to speak " folded" it all together, It barely fit at all. I actually broke one board trying to get it in there and I fried the other one with the iron. Anywho, Just make sure your careful. Its not easy at all. You may break one or two trying. Its just that hard. But, Im sure you will find a way. Oh and just to be more specific. Its not mounted on anything. The fact that its so cramed in there keeps it steady.  Hope this helps : )
