Cal Kestis Neopixel

This 3D-printed Cal Kestis lightsaber replica is designed for seamless integration with standard LGT-style chassis systems. Compatible with 165mm x 25mm or 190mm x 25mm chassis sizes, this build offers a straightforward plug-and-play experience once all components are printed and prepared.
📦 Required Parts
•     Blade: 7/8" Neopixel blade
•     Chassis: LGT-style chassis (see reference images). Available from AliExpress or various saber vendors. Must be either 165mm x 25mm or 190mm x 25mm. NOTE: you can get two of these to make a double-sided saber just like in the game. 
•     Screws:
•     1 × M4 x 10mm headless machine screw (for button retention)
•     2 × M4 x 5mm headless machine screw (for emitter retention)
(Note: Screws may be included with your chassis depending on the supplier.)

🧩 Assembly Instructions
1. Emitter & Mid-Hilt Connection
•     Begin by attaching the mid-hilt section to the emitter. Squeeze and push in the emitter to the mid-section. This will be a snug fit.
2. Detail Installation
•     Glue the mid-hilt detail pieces and the emitter wire-exposure detail into place.
•     These are cosmetic elements and should be added after the top section is assembled.
3. Grip Threading Prep
•     Before installing the chassis, thread the mid-hilt and grip sections together a few times to smooth the fit.
•     Tolerances may vary depending on your printer’s precision, so this step helps ensure proper alignment.
4. Pommel Assembly
•     Snap the pommel components together, then screw them into the grip section.
5. Button Mechanism Setup
•     The button uses a twist-lock system:
•     To install: Push and twist right
•     To remove: Push and twist left
•     Work this mechanism several times before final installation—it may be stiff initially but loosens with use.
•     After a day of handling, the button typically becomes smooth and responsive.
6. Chassis Installation
•     Carefully insert the chassis into the mid-hilt/emitter section.
•     Align the chassis button with the button hole on the printed hilt.
•     Insert the 3D-printed button piece into the hilt (push and twist right to lock).
•     Use the M4 x 10mm screw to secure the chassis. Tighten until nearly flush with the hilt exterior.
⚠️ Do not overtighten—headless screws strip easily.
•     Test the button: it should feel clicky and responsive, without catching.
7. Optional Detail Ring
•     For added flair, install the decorative ring between the mid-hilt and grip before final assembly.
