Retractable Lightsaber

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PROJECT IS A PROTOTYPE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO DIY - WHILE WE’RE WORKING TO CHANGE THAT, THIS CURRENT DOCUMENTATION IS PROVIDED AS A LEARNING RESOURCE, NOT A DETAILED STEP-BY-STEP. A real retractable lightsaber has long been the holy grail of custom lightsabers. That’s why we decided to make one! This lightsaber features a blinding blade of light that actually emerges in and out of the hilt. With a 12V COB LED strip, 4S LiPo battery, the Proffieboard V3.9, and a powerful speaker, this lightsaber has realistic lights and sounds.
THIS PROJECT DOCUMENTATION IS INTENDED AS AN EDUCATIONAL LEARNING RESOURCE ONLY, NOT TO BE REPLICATED. THIS PROJECT IS DANGEROUS AND BEARS NUMEROUS RISKS DUE TO THE POWERFUL LIPO BATTERY.
BY MAKING THIS PROJECT/IN THE EVENT THIS PROJECT IS MADE, THE USER ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL HEROTECH PTE. LTD. OR RELATED ENTITIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, TO PROPERTY OR LIFE, WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THE USE OR MISUSE OF THIS PROJECT.

We have been talking to a seller that claims their strips do not have solder joints which is the mechanical liability we are looking to get rid of: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/3mm-5mm-8mm-10mm-Flexible-LED_62387556096.html ordered samples from them but it may not arrive for 3-4 weeks, will update then
