Another thread revival for an update. This one was also on my regular installer's bench for three months (which I was fine with, we both were occupied and I was in no hurry for).

It received a NBv2 w/PEX and a tri-cree XP-E2 LED running green x2 blade and white FoC. Internals are mounted to a 3D-printed chassis and the pommel was machine out a little inside to allow for a full 28mm 2w bass speaker to fit inside, and a replacement 3D printed pommel insert capped it off (did not take pictures of either of those).

Very happy with how the upgrade turned out. The XP-E2 LEDs are so bright and solid, and the speaker puts out a really good volume.

I have my eye on one of those. I would like to change out the switch body though. I'm new here by the way, do they sell just the parts?

Sort of - you can buy an empty hilt ("Initiate" tier and ask them to drill it for an electronics install, but to get the Adaptive Saber Parts for switches, bodies, emiitters, etx, you'll need to wait for the kickstarter and IGG rewards to go out before SF will be selling them separately.

Has anyone sand down a little the emitter towards the body where is this cutting edge?
This is really the only part I don't like so much in comparative to the older version that is more roundy...
