So my stuff came from Tim. Problem was I ordered wrong size batt pack. Easy fix tho. Second problem was the gold pins I ordered were wrong, but I shortened them with the help of my dremel. Now heres the thing, The blade holder is slightly loose in the graflex. I dont even think I can fix this  :-\  Now all I need is the SD card reader.

try tightening down your screws that hold it in place  ;)

Ti  That red saber on that graflex is dope...  Before i even seen this I was going to put my red hyper setup in my fx anakin hilt.
Also have a blue setup going in my vader hilt..  I will put up some pics when i have it finished. going to take a while have to send in some things to hyper to have upgraded then will start the build.  Also Why is this topic not in the graflex area?  Is your hilt plector labs?

TI very nice indeed.  Not sure how I missed this post.  Def keep us posted with your progress.

Yoda mentioned in another thread that every graflex is slightly diff and needs a little shimming so the blade holder is not loose in the hilt.  The screw will tend to shift the holder at an angle so you may need to shim it back into alignment.

And yes this should be in the graflex section so move it I will.

Well, this project is temporaraly on hold, I dont have the crystal focus or an LED to put in it. I might throw in a 3 watt and have a "stunt" saber:P
