Thread: Scandinavian Graflex 2.0 build

  1. #1

    Default Scandinavian Graflex 2.0 build

    Hi!

    I've been searching the various saber-construction forums for a while now to research my upcoming Graflex 2.0 build, which will also be my first build.
    Now I've hit a hurdle and could use some advise on some things:

    1. I'm pretty certain that I've got the wiring down: http://i.imgur.com/nZmKgdf.jpg - right?

    2. Will TCSS's MHS chassis discs fit the Graflex 2.0 kit?

    3. (And most importantly) I don't know what to do about power. Any Li-Ion battery cannot be shipped internationally, and I can't find any retailer in Denmark who sells a 18650 3.7 V PCB Protected battery with wires ready for assembly. I could buy a standard button-top 18650 battery here in Denmark and mount it in the "18650 Single Cell Holder" that TCSS sells, but I'm not sure if it will fit because of the PCB.
    Any ideas/suggestions?

    Thanks in advance
    /Martin

    1. Wiring looks good to me.

    2. I'm pretty sure the MHS inner diameter is not the same as the Graflex. There are Graflex chassis parts in the store here: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Graflex-C38.aspx

    3. You may need to make your own battery pack and solder wires directly to the battery. See here: http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com...-Battery-Packs and here: http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com...ry-Pack-Making The important bit to remember is to use a hot iron, scuff the battery terminals a bit, and use solder flux. Don't overheat the battery.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    Graflex 2.0 Product page says Graflex chassis bits don't fit. I'm planning a Graflex build and no idea how I'm going to hold things in place. Probly buy the Graflex chassis anyway and try to cut/file/grind them down to make them fit.

    Ahh, I'd never checked on that before. I would shoot an email to TCSS and ask about custom discs for the Graflex 2.0, or at least get the ID for it. Someone else might chime in around here and tell what they've done with it.

    Most of the Graflex 2.0 builds I've seen are using 3d printed chassis.
