Wondering if anyone knew if these are both small enough to go inside a full scale wand? Looked around and as im clueless about electronics these seem to be the most user friendly in terms of being plug and play. But as there's no dimensions on the listings i'm unsure if these would both fit into a wand. Also noticed the cable connecting the 2 is 8 feet long which would likely cause an issue in terms of space. Not sure if its possible to get this in a smaller length by request?

Hello.... not sure about the pack blaster but the the wand kit does fit but you do need some cram fu skills. As for the cable it can be cut and then the plug reattached. Just look up the directions for those parts. I believe there are links for that in the store

I don't actually have a pack or a wand as yet, was looking at getting a wand with both light and sound inside. There are smaller alternatives to the pack later board just probably not as user friendly.

Might just wait for an aluminium wand to be available and snag one of those as they generally have more space inside.

Yeah was thinking the same, wires, speaker, battery it would be an insanely tight squeeze. Seen a few other smaller sound boards like the adafruit audio fx mini, but i've no clue about how wiring those up and coupling the sounds with the button presses.

I'll figure something out, just thinking about waiting on an aluminium wand or going for a resin version.

There are smaller options for the audio that might well fit, the adafruit audio fx board for instance. Though it does involve more shenanigans with tieing the button push to a light and sound effect which on the gb fans kits are handled by a ribbon cable between them.

I think it can be done via the smaller boards with some good cable management and lots and lots of cursing. :)

I don't actually have apack, or a wand currently besides the spengler wand. Looking to build a stand alone wand with light and sound. Just looking at the options for doing this :)
