Thread: Anakin Conversion Kit Questions

  1. #1

    Default Anakin Conversion Kit Questions

    Just wondering if Graflex brass pins, Glass eye/Red Button Thumbscrew, or Red Button on/off will work with this adapter? By the looks of the pics, some Graflex parts might fit... Thanks!

    They should. Its not so much different from the Graflexshop one. Its just one piece instead of two and is cheaper.

    There is a dedicated graflex holder... Are you trying to mix and match them to make a ANH or ESB saber?

    The buttons might fit, but the graflex and Anakin ones are not the same size for the tube.

    Oops, didn't read the topic correctly. Doh! [xx(]

    Well, the Graflex kit is cheaper, works better, and isn't made for the Anakin Fx. Its made for a Graflex. What are you converting? That would help alot.

    Graflex I have already (crafted by one of the finest smiths this side of the outer rim) Im talking about the new TCSS anakin kit. Will Graflex parts fit the new blade holder?

    Graflex pins will..although they would stick into the blade area a tad and need to be sanded down.

    ok, actually found some time today to start work with Tim's Anakin Conversion Kit.
    Figured I might as well practice and hope I did it right. Guess I will know once the tutorial is released.


    here's the LED hooked up to the heatsink.,




    here's it powered on (I bought a white LED)




    here's everything together



    now I will see if I can fit it all together after I make dinner for the family.
