I love mine as well, just came in today, but am having the same issue. Was thinking small slips of aluminum foil or maybe even fine lines of JB weld. interested to hear what others have done with the circuit board clamp.

I placed a pad of double sided tape from 3M on the back of the board, slid it into place and it's holding fine. I did the same thing for the button.

... Yeah, that would be helpful. And if anyone puts together a electronics kit for this saber, that would be even better! I'm sure there are a lot of us ready and willing to send money.

There is someone who made a two-part full reveal capable chassis on Shapeways. It is too pricey and elaborate for me being a first time builder, but part 1 is the same for everyone, and part 2 depends on the sound card you choose. Seems to have been a popular request on IRA Forums.

It looks like the inner diameter, not counting where the screws come through with the ESB grip pieces, is about 32mm.
As an aside, anyone know what to do with these? I can't figure out how to get the red buttons to stay in... and the switches do not fit in either end of the switch cavity.

You need to sand the excess pcb material from the switch until it is round enough to fit inside the button housing.

A few tips that helped me. I put a small amount of oil on all parts that had to be screwed in, it fixed the tight fit of the second button attachment. I applied a tiny drop of cyanoacrylate to the switch to get the red button to stick. To get the circuit board fixed in place I put a piece of insulation from a thin electrical wire between the clamp and the board, just on one side.
Oh yes, try different combinations of the switches and red buttons, some of them will not allow for switch to activate, and some will.

That is what figured, thanks!
The unfortunate part that I noticed is that neither of the red buttons actuate the switches I have, so I'll have to stick a small piece in there and MacGyver something to make these switch work.
Has anybody made completed Crystal Chambers with lights and sounds for these Graflex and crossguards? I'd be interested in commissioning someone to complete a ANH, ESB, and TFA crystal chamber Lightsaber with lights and sounds and a Kylo Ren Cross Guard too with cracked red crystal.

A new run crystal chamber chassis kit is being developed for the graflex 2.0 (no crossguards) over at the saber-fx forums.
See the FX-SABERS Chassis Kits for 2.0 Korbanth/Parks hilt and my post clarifying details on page-6.

Just going to cross-post this from the Junkyard thread in case anyone missed it. Crazy how that thread blew up with requests for the Graflex 2.0 kit.
Doh! too much SW to digest lately....thats it? thanks!
