Recommendations for a Graflex Chassis?

[Usagi Pilgrim]

I'm looking for a chassis for a TFA saber, made from a replica Graflex. I'm finding a bunch online, but all I'm seeing is for bladed sabers. I simply want one with maybe a lighted crystal that you can just open the saber & see all the cool innards. I'm OK with 3D printed, metal, or a combo if is cool. Thanks for any info.

The crystal chamber ones you were looking at should be fine. Since the chassis are usually held in place by the blade holder, you would need one anyway. Just an extra thing if you ever wanted to make it have a blade. Yoda on FXsabers makes a really nice metal chassis, and there are a few great 3D chassis on shapeways. Both are compatible with Solo's hold blade holder I think. If you don't want a blade, just put a blade plug in the socket. The Solo's hold blade holder comes with parts to make one out of the parts you get with your replica.

I saw this recently on ebay. It might be in the ballpark of what you're looking for. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-CRYS...933568?hash=item4896c1e040:g:NBAAAOSw5cNYTDIf

This isn't my auction, btw.

Thanks guys!

I guess I need to do a bit more research on how these things work. I'm not wanting to do any mods at all to the top. I just want a glowing crystal that I can pull off the bottom for the Wow factor.

That one on eBay is nice, but a bit more expensive & skeletal than what I'm looking for.

The ones on shape ways are kinda what I'm liking. I just need to see how is have to mod them to get what I want.
