Title: Slothfurnace's NEW run of ESB Clampcards - GOLD VERSION!
Post by: slothfurnace on May 14, 2012, 09:56:07 AM
New run of ESB Clampcards are in!
 
(https://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.slothfurnace.com%2Fimages%2Fclampcard%2F003.jpg&hash=339d7f26ee1bc7a173fe8796549b2137e658bfde)
 
This new design features round ended wide traces on one side, and square ended wide traces on the other for your particular tastes, depending on what you'd want on your saber.

Available in plain or gold plated, these are 2" long by 0.75" wide.  Will need to be trimmed to fit your clamp, as not all clamps are created equal.
 
The manufacturer could not gold plate only the wide traces, so if you want to further accurize your clampcard, I would assume you could solder over the thin traces in silver, but I have not tried this yet. 
 
$10 for plain, $20 for gold, $25 special combo pack (one of each.) Shipping is included!
 
My paypal info is bradley@robotpirate.com ("bradley@robotpirate.com")
 
Make sure to include your mailing address!  These will ship in a bubble mailer for safety.

I have less than 50 each of these so if you need one, or think you'll need one, chime in!
 
Thanks for looking!

Price includes shipping anywhere in the known universe.

Just paypal straight to bradley@robotpirate.com and I'll get your order packed up and out the door.  make sure you include your mailing address and how many of what kind you want.

When/if I get low on stock, I'll let everyone know so that we don't run into an issue where someone places an order for something I am out of stock on.

Thanks all!

Brad

Yes, yours went out yesterday in the mail, My wife hasn't given me the stack of shipping receipts yet, but when I get to the house tonight I will email you your international delivery confirmation number.

This goes the same for all other international orders, expect me to mark them as shipped with that number via paypal tonight.

I've seen a lot of different pics, and not sure if any of them are definitive, but I'd wager I've seen more wide traces exposed than narrow ones.  Personally, I'd trim off the narrow trace side.

No, I haven't tried soldering yet.  I'd pick the side you don't want exposed to test that with.

Last time I trimmed one, I used a belt sander  to make quick work of it.  Your dremel is also probably adequate.

Awesome!  I have yet to install mine, so it's good to see it in a hilt.  I hope to get mine trimmed and installed this week, but I really need to finish up the Obi ANH Reveal before I get distracted by anything else.

Still have these for sale, I have about 20 left of each.

Trimmed mine, here it is next to one of the old cards.

I tried soldering over the thin traces and it worked perfectly. Just tedious and very very hard to be precise.

My goal was to make it look like the MR V2 clampcard:

(https://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scottandtemphotography.com%2FgraflexSaber%2Fclampcard%2FG20120524-160610.JPG&hash=eccc3733657588f227848daddb1275ce17801dfe) (http://www.scottandtemphotography.com/graflexSaber/clampcard/G20120524-160610.JPG)

Here's one on my MKVI. I also shaved is super thin, so I could use it for touch plate activation (needs to flex)
(https://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scottandtemphotography.com%2FgraflexSaber%2Fclampcard%2FG20120524-160637.JPG&hash=40fce3d74e2d5b9959bc739662d0042160217acf) (http://www.scottandtemphotography.com/graflexSaber/clampcard/G20120524-160637.JPG)

Here's the other side of the other one... the rounded thick traces.
(https://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scottandtemphotography.com%2FgraflexSaber%2Fclampcard%2FG20120524-160647.JPG&hash=61dd84efd944b3c3f6b8027cb4cda34edb4cacf5) (http://www.scottandtemphotography.com/graflexSaber/clampcard/G20120524-160647.JPG)

to do it... I had to use a tiny amount of solder on the tip of the iron. I masked off the thick traces, and lightly traced them with the tip. Then used soldering brad to remove the excess and thin it out.

You CAN do that... but only with some tape that doesn't melt... painters tape, regular tape will melt and contaminate the solder. The only tape you might be able to mask with is aluminum or mylar. I didn't have any... so I just use caution. ^_^

Sorry guys... time to take care of my little one, and tonight I'll edit and post the video.

ok dudes here you go:

d=1

Not sure what's up with the audio though...  and the segment showing the desoldering brain in action was from and earlier attempt that I had shot, but I rethought it and re-did it as I wanted to not show the tight masking in case whatever tape you used screwed you guys up.

So Like I said above... you CAN mask it, but unless you have non-meltable tape, just be careful instead.

here's a link for the cape cod polishing cloths I use: http://www.capecodpolish.com/products/product_info.php?products_id=28

Get the tin... they come in handy for ALL SORTS of stuff. Rings, metals, precious metals. These cloths are amazing!

Excellent Vid indeed!  I posted it over at the slothfurnace facebook page.

In other news, I have ONLY 2 GOLD CARDS LEFT, so if you want one, now's the time.  When these slots below are full, they're gone.
I have probably 8 or 10 plain cards left, I'll have to look.

1 - Taken
2 - Taken
3 - Taken
4 - TridCloudwalker
5 - TridCloudwalker


But this is fair warning that I am running out, I'm letting you guys know just like I said I'd do.

Thanks!

Its was very helpful the video. I tried it and works great. I didn't Polish it as I'm more of a brushed look :)

BUMP

Also, I just realized I am out of ArduiNIX circuitboards, which means I need to place an order to my supplier in China.  That also means if I am going to do another run of ESB Gold clampcards, this is the time to do it. If there's interest.

The last run sold out pretty quick, but I am not sure if I exhausted the demand or not. If you guys think I should go ahead and add 50 gold clampcards to my order so I save on shipping from my supplier, let me know.  I'll probably need to place my ArduiNIX board order on Saturday.

Also, let me know if there are any changes you'd like to see. If no changes needed, it's cheaper for me.  If changes needed, I would have to pay for retooling.

Thanks

That's great, will put payment and details through to you. Before I do, and (here rather than via PM) in case it's useful for anyone else - the first post says that it includes shipping, but will there be extra for that as I'm in the UK?

EDIT: scratch that, saw your reply to same question at start of the thread, payment and details sent in Paypal message  ;)

Sloth, are there any gold cards left or do have some coming up in a new batch?  I'm interested in getting one, but I don't need it immediately or anything.
