Graflex 2.0 Sabers - Show your work / Talk Electronics

[JaxAndTheMoon]

Just in case you guys run across some Parks Graflex V1 glass eyes or original ones, they still fit on your 2.0's if you mill a hole out of your blade adapter. I did the same thing for my V1 blade adapter that I got from TGS to allow light to shine through, and you can get the same result with the 2.0.

Okay, just got news we are about to have sabers in two weeks, then its just a matter of everything getting shipped out to all of us and this info came straight from the source. So no worries everything is cool just a bit more wait and they will be here. counting time to get them all ship'ed but they are coming. Thanks....Jim

Yeh well see. Customs can slow things down....China could do who knows what...etc. I'm not holding my breath.

Yep your rite about customs, I'm in no hurry, I have other projects keeping me entertained at the moment. They will be here. I have no problem with the wait. Korbanth is a cool fellow and a straight shooter. But I as well with projects happening still will be happy to be holding them in my hands. Thanks..... Jim

That chassis looks Great, I my self am building a chassis, lots of parts to get it all in order. I still have a bunch of parts to order, I love getting presents in the mail Lol.I will have milling to do as well as lathe work before even any building can be done. I think everyone on here will like what they see once I post some pics I hope. Thanks....Jim

Are there any alternatives to a 1" blade holder other than the VV ones? Been waiting for those to be restocked for months now but it seems like they have other more important projects on their plate at the moment.

 

[Fett 4 Real]

Not that Ive seen...I bet you could have a machine shop lathe the stock one to 1' from 7/8'

Yes for sure can't wait, I will be machining my saber up to the VV 1 inch on only one of my graflex builds plus be cutting a bunch of brass parts for my crystal chamber. Getting parts in bit by bit. I've been thinking about the core of the saber and machining a way to house everything up front of the saber and the chamber will be the whole end of the hilt been getting all the parts in for this as well. been watching the mail excitedly. Thanks.......Jim

For anyone who wanted the TCSS heat sink, just saw that it was back in stock as of today. Finally able to grab one.

 

[Luke the Belter]

Hey guys,

great stuff you did with those 2.0

I'm not new to electronics but new to soundboards, high power leds and Li ion accumulators.
So I hope someone can help me with on or two answers.

Where can I get a good power jack as recharge port (other than TCSS). What must I pay particular attention to?

And what do I need to recharge a 18650 Li-Ion Cell (3,7 V 2600 mAh)?

Thank you.
