Sorry would have posted the link but last time I did post a link to INT-thread I was told this were posting a link to selling thread.

Just tried the shaft collar myself, one picked up at the hardware store, but unfortunately, my emitter rod wasn't long enough for the screw in the collar to get a good grip without causing it to slant. Wound up just adding a wad of gaffer tape to the bottom to keep it from falling out.

Nope! Just the shaft collar. If I take the gaffer's tape off of my neck, my emitter spines just fine with just the shaft collar.

Got the clamp in from Trooper_Trent in today and slapped the card in and fastened it to the saber. My lever's yet to arrive so no photos of it until it's complete. However, from the experience of putting this together, I have come to realize how much I love gaffer tape; it's been my solution to all my problems for this saber. To keep the emitter head from falling off: gaffer tape. To keep the emitter from spinning: gaffer tape. To keep the clamp from budging so much: gaffer tape. To keep the card in place: gaffer tape.
I wouldn't say it's as handy in all situations as something like duct tape is but it is damn close.

where did you order your graffers tape?
Just a suggestion (to anyone with a similar issue), but if you would like to have your clamp stay on snugly without gaffer tape, it is totally possible. Once you get your lever, test tightening it (without the card in) as much as you can while allowing it to still slide over the saber into position with the lever open. If you close the lever and the clamp still moves, open it back up, slide it back off, and tighen it one more turn. If you can still slide it back on, try it again.
If not, that means you need to rotate your square nut 1/2 turn. Take the clamp off, completely unscrew the lever and once it's out, rotate the square nut 180 degrees. Put it back together and try it again. This should get you to that nice half way point where you can still slide it onto the saber, but when you clamp the lever down, it locks into place.
Once that's done, you may now have to sand the edge of your card to get it to slide into the groove that is now thinner than before. I started with the bottom edge of the card with the teeth so as not to cause the board to shift upward hiding any of the details. I just ran it along some sand paper until I could (with some pressure) slide the board in. Then just clamp it down and you should have a perfectly fitting clamp.
Stencil Run is open BTW.
