well, now i'm more satisfied that I used a cut-downed 4 cell bottom so it wouldn't have the writing in the bottom.

Hi guys,
I created a reference sheet with screenshots of the TFA saber. The T-track lengths on the "Wired saber" look suspiciously like the T-tracks on the "Maz Box saber". I believe it might be the same prop. What do you think?
Is there anything known about the "Snow saber" as of yet? The T-tracks on that one look a bit higher than on the other sabers. I would guess it's a different Graflex all together, but I'm not sure.

The Snow saber has the t grips all the way to the end of the saber, similar or same to the one you categorized as Rey/Finn.
The other 2 variations are T grips short from the bottom aka Maz Box and the stunt saber with electronics (with the antenna)

My acrylic glass arrived!
I spent the last hour sawing and sanding. Here is the result... I think I like the look of the material.
Next step: Etching brass. If that turns out well, I'll try to produce a few more cards.

So was someone making (was it roygiling - sorry if I'm speaking out of turn) frosted clear TFA edge connectors? I have his original and it's perfect. Would just like to upgrade for more accuracy ? Just wondering. P.S. - I'm new... Also, looking patiently forward to those clamp covers!!!!

The clamp covers are almost ready to start selling at Wannawanga.com!
I will be able to start offering them somewhere next week. I'll have plenty of them, so no worries about limited supply.
Hopefully, I will also have the bottom cover available then.
I have to wait for a new batch of Kobold Clips before I can offer a complete TFA kit with my current edge connector clamp card.
I would like to be able to offer them, but I haven't found a way to replicate them yet. But I'm working on it.
Some more info:
I've investigated the length of the T-track grips in the two hero versions. They are really short!
#1 Maz lightsaber:
Length: 84mm
Gap: 6.5mm
Gap distance: 13mm
Distance from clamp: 3.5mm
Distance from bottom (not in image): 5.0mm
#2 Rey/Finn lightsaber:
Length: 88mm
Gap: 7.4mm
Gap distance: 13mm
Distance from clamp: 3.5mm
Mounted against the end of the bottom.
Cheers,
Roy

Super exciting. Can hardly wait ! You're the best Roy.
Roy, thank you so much for those grip measurements. I knew they were short !
The clamp covers look perfect. I'm hopeful you'll get the circuit cards sorted, I'd love to make a one-stop purchase for the TFA kit.
BTW Roy, are you ordering your rivets online or purchasing them locally? What is the head size/type? Yours look really accurate to the Finn/Rey saber.

Thanks!
I purchase the rivets locally in a Dutch hardware shop. I think they're German. They are steel/alu 3mm, length 10mm and the head size is 6.0mm.
the exact measurements I need, bless you Roy!! we need wannawanga.com tshirts!!
Looking great Roy, thank you! Any idea if the grip profile is different? The bottoms look like they might be more curved than current offerings.
