Hey Jaden,

Unfortunately the Vader's Vault 1"bore adapter is sold out - sold in a matter of hours. But the TCSS is supposed to be working on one of their own. The advantage of the 1" bore is that you can utilize the 7/8 blade and heat sink, but not the other way around. They have also modified the bore to allow for an aux button install that you will otherwise have to mod on the stock 7/8 bore. I hear that it's not too difficult though.

Yeah, I'm waiting for the TCSS restock too. I need 2 NB's for my Korbanth Sid and Black Lotus install. I'm installing a spark color 2 in the Graflex.

FInished. Unfortunately, the circuitboard card wouldn't stay I the clasp, it would easily slide out, but the bubble strip fit perfectly. I guess you can say it's a new version of the Graflex, it combines all the graflexes into one!
Light and darkness, you cannot have one without the other. To achieve equilibriem you must be in harmony with both; the path between.

Stupid thing won't let me upload pictures. Must be the weather here, it's chaotic outside, I'll try later.

I didn't even realize they were ready. Oh well. :P The main reason I was considering it was that I really didn't like the 7/8" blades/ blade supplies TCSS has, and wanted to use SF's V4 blade that'll be coming with my ASP saber.

Plector Labs had some boards ready recently, but they too sold out in an hour or so (I found out about a half hour too late). Hopefully once TCSS gets restocked they have everything I need, because I really dislike paying for multiple shipments, but I know as soon as the boards come in I'll have to jump on it.

I'm glad greyjediDude posted this thread, as it made me excited about my build again. I was starting to get buyer's remorse while waiting, as it was kind of an impulse buy while waiting for my ASP saber.

Here's a picture of the "mod" I was talking about:


It's really just two switches (the kind that come with a momentary to latching converter board) mounted on something to fit inside the clamp. I saw this on the IRA forum, but the guy who started the thread was charging like $13 plus shipping for the setup (I think he was buying the whole converter and just taking the switches). So I found the switches in $0.95 5 pack on Pololu's site.

Hey, this has nothing to do with the topic, but how do you do the banner at the bottom of your post?

Yeah totally, your welcome I guess, glad to bring happiness to fellow members. I now have three sabers in my collection. Now what's next is my ASP saber from the indiegogo campaign, that's my baby waiting to born! Once I've got that in my possession I'm going to get an Archon in indigo.

That's what I was thinking, it might become the Graflex for EpVIII.

Not exactly a spoiler, so alert not necessary, since it's all speculation and theory than accurate info..part of me thinks that Rey won't wield a conventional saber in epviii (even if she does). I reckon it may play along the design of her spear/pole/spike seen in epvii and incorporate like a double emitter focusing inwards towards each other, kinda like a reversed staff?? Likely I've just a severe case of the stoopids.

My theory was a lightsaber staff or pike, in either purple or blue.
