I still don't understand it. The only scene where we can clearly see the clamp card in the movie, it's mirrored from ALL the other images of promos and replicas. I sometimes think that perhaps that scene in which Maz hands it to Finn was OR CGI or it was mirrored in post production.
It doesn't change the fact that THAT orientation is the only screen used one.
It's not a rotated clamp card; you would be able to tell the difference very clearly.

Let's stop wrecking our brains about those silly left sided and right sided thin traces.

Here's a video of me this weekend in my kitchen:

I am about to convert my Icons Skywalker lightsaber into a TFA version and so it requires quite a bit of work. Before I start taking it apart, does anyone know here if the pin that holds the bunny ears bulb holder can go back in once you have taken it out or will I have to replace it. I want to add some pin connectors and so would be easier if I can take the internal section out.

I'm not sure about the icons in particular, but I don't see why you'd be able to take is out of it can't go back in.

That's my picture! That was a quick mock up. It has since been fit underneath without much adjustment.

Did the Graflex 2.0 normal pins work? I was wondering if the threads were too short.

Wait a second-- that's the Luke ROTJ boot/ignition sound, not the Graflex one. THIS VIDEO IS TOTALLY FAKE!

They work just fine.

Here's a photo of the PropShop replica taken this week at their temporary exhibition within Harrods if helpful.

LOL!!!! classic!!!!

as for the circuit board traces being on a certain side... is it possible this clear circuit board was etched on both sides, and just installed backwards? i think thats the unofficial imaginary story I'm going to go with :wacko

 

[Sym-Cha]

These :

... are not the circuit boards you're looking for ... move along ... move along :lol

Haha. I noticed the same thing!

 

[CharlemagneXVII]

Can someone explain to me the purpose of the clamp cover? It is to make your hilt more screen accurate while not needing to replace the clamp itself?

 

[SethS]

TFA used a clamp cover to hide the Graflex logo.

That makes so much sense. Thanks!

 

[SethS]

Seems like a roll of tape would be easier though, don't it?

 

[CharlemagneXVII]

Enter: Mylar tape.

 

[cjchiu]

Although the PropShop replica just seems to have a logo-less clamp....
