Liking the shape of the hilt. (Lack of projections in places that mess with the user's grip on it.) Also: Most folks likely already know this, but: Advantage of neopixel blades--Better/more versatile with effects. Advantage of base-lit blades--Can be made more durable to survive heavy sparring.
It’s amazing to see you review something other than blasters that is still a fun toy! Zero critiques from me, I would’ve done the exact same if I had the opportunity, it’s a lightsaber!
Greetings fellow Jedi (I'm guessing you're Jedi). Glad you got a nice saber but you really need the "Duel of the Fates" music installed on your hilt so you can re-enact the Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Maul fight - EPIC! I own 7 sabers myself and have designed over 400 in 3D CAD. Oh and I have TWO Havok-Fires to display with my hilts. Happy saberring and MTFBWY.
Little tip for you: when securing the blade with the retention screws, you don't want to use two retention screws that are on opposite sides of the circumference of the blade. Reason is, one of the screws pushes the rest of the blade against the wall of the hilt so you get a lot of surface area to push against. When you use opposite screws, the 2nd screw stops the blade from being pushed up against the hilt so you actually get less hold than just a single screw. So, to get a stronger hold just use one of those retention screws. It's a little counterintuitive.

That’s a great point in favour of base-lits for sure!
Aw man! That looks epic!

That music is on it!
I’d love to see some of the CAD work! Where can I see it?

That’s a great tip, I can see how that could be the case, thanks! I always assume the screws biting in probably help too :)
Second Comment
The first was mine, so I give you ran of first haha.
