Hello everyone,
I am new to Saberforge and will be wiring an empty Bane mk2 hilt as my first project. I was wondering if some kind soul knew the Internal Diameter of this hilt. This way I can make the right choices in electronics! Also, any ideas on where to get an internal chassis for this beauty would be much appreciated  Thanks! |

It looks like a 1.10inch internal sizing, but with the elbow you don't have much room before the bend. I bought mine with a sabercore 3.0 so it has SF pre assembled shuttle on it and while I can slide it out a little I didn't want to force it out... My guess would be that if you measure a 18650( I cant tell if they used a keystone battery tray or not) with a 28mm premium speaker glued to it for length that would be about the space you have before the bend.
I did a self install on the MK1 bane and a Vanquish, since they are clam shelled I bought the 1.10 inch 3d printed chassis for the card of my choice and speaker holder, and since they are clam shells, I mocked up and trimmed the chassis to fit the curves the way I wanted and wired them before closing it up. |

Have you any images of the chassis you used? I am struggling to find any images of a Bane Mk2 chassis.. |

Chances are I used this since I know that has a Spark 2
https://www.shapeways.com/product/BG6XZS3WU/gcm110-01-ig2-igniter-2-spark-2-18650-cell?optionId=55537838 I may of used this, or not depending on the space I had left https://www.shapeways.com/product/62P959ETW/gcm110-03-03-28mm-bass-speaker-holder?optionId=55581430 |

How did you sort out the curve? Did your chassis stop before the curve? |

Good thing about the Bane, is the mid section is clam shelled, so when you have the saber disassembled, you can split it in 2 and mock up switches, RCP, chassis and speaker in 1 half, so you can see if you need to make any mods to the chassis, and which orientation of the parts works best.

The first thing I did when I got it was to take it apart so I can get a better idea on how it's all put together and also have a better idea on where a potential chassis could sit. The hardest bit is the chassis, all the internals are ready to rock it's just designing a chassis to fit the bend. |

I just fit it in the back half of the bend. chassis and speaker at the pommel with a single button spark 2 set up its a bit tricky to change fonts due to its orientation but it does work.

Not bad I'm installing the Igniter 3 in mine along with the NEcree!
