Well I was hoping they would fit so I have 8 kits coming to me 4 2.0 and 2 Vader 2 Obiwan what will I need as far as 2.0 heat sinks and I'm studying the switches I want to use the switches for blade lock up power on and the other stuff, I've learned a lot but still a noob and as said will be needing a bunch of help. I don't want to spend money I don't need to spend but as fett said I am building a bunch of sabers. Thanks....Jim

Was in the shop today and I will be building a very complex crystal reveal so if it comes down to it I can chuck up the core in my lathe and trim down or just work things so they fit. Don't know well see, got to have it in my hands so I will know where I stand. Thanks.....Jim

Do you know the measurements of the 2.0 trying to make a display box just not to big? Handle diameter and lengh

When i was looking around, i worked off a bounding box of 11" x 3" ...this allowed for the bunny ears too.

Found a supplier of some really cool chests:

 

[kermet]

Yep like the chest. Supplier? would like one of these. Just placed my other order still got lots to order as building 8 sabers. Man really takes a bunch of parts. Thanks....Jim

 

[mikid]

Using a wooden box with all bright brass hardware so it can tarnish on its own lined with foam covering in black velvet......will post a picture when completed......cant wait for my 2.0!

I was keen to get more from him and now he's not showing stock. Sadly they aren't getting them again. Thought I was onto a winner there! I'm researching other avenues though and might have a plan...and a even better alternative!

 

[kermet]

Okay just got lots more stuff. still got more to get...here's some pics....Thanks....Jim

Hey everyone, does anyone know where I could get a glass eye to replace the fake glass eye that was included in the Korbanth kit?

The Graflex Shop and The Custom Saber Shop carry replacements with more realistic plastic rather than the all-metal eyes that come with the 2.0. I'm using the TGS one drilled through to allow light to shine through. Love it!

Sweet thanks! So which one will just fit right in? I don't really want to drill anything.

As far as I know they are supposed to fit with no modifications but someone that has an actual hilt will have to reply. I'm getting mine in the current run... which has me a little worried because Korbanth hasn't had an update in a minute.

 

[kermet]

Should be here about mid May, getting close makes for one to be excited I my self can't wait anytime now. Thanks.....Jim

I actually have the hilt, but IDK if it will fit. I hope someone else has it already that can tell me lol.
