Thank you for such a detailed analysis!
now that you mention it, it has the same sparkle as the emitter but with a translucent color over it...holy crap
I'm just about finished with my model. However, I'm unable to put the graflex writing on my clamp model. Can anyone help me out with that?
I'm not really away of a way outside of making it a sheetmetal part. But i don't know what you're using to make it either. Inventor and Solidworks, i'd imagine would be via sheetmetal.
Hi Dan, even though I'm working abroad (and I'm pretty busy) I might be able to do it. I can build the clamp with the logo and send it to you to import it. What's your CAD system?

Thanks Roy. That would be great. I use a couple different programs, but if you could send it as a stp file, that would be great. The finished model will be a stl mesh, but I can always turn the solid into a mesh. Basically I just need a graflex clamp modeled with the holes from the shared stunt cut out of it.
Yeah...both those are 3d modeling programs. But for industry, therefore, loads of control. 3ds max, maya, etc, would be film/games...what are you working in?
Solidworks
Looks Beautiful. Thanks so much. Any chance you have a regular clamp lever modeled? If not, no worries, I can manage it. Appreciate your help
I've done a lot of casting over the years and am really surprised to hear of a nearly 1" shrinkage on lightsaber castings (not that I doubt it!). I guess inferior materials, time, and multiple generations can account for it. In any case the shrinkage should be even, so proportionately you can get very close with the 2" clamp. Also, since that's a 1st generation the shrinkage is probably pretty negligible.
