Spacemonkey's TFA Graflex with Crystal Chassis Build Thread

[SPACEMONKEY1]

Hey everyone, been around the forum for a few months now and I've been gathering my parts. I think I'm finally ready to get this show on the road. There are a ton of these Graflex build threads, but hopefully this one helps anyone else out who is doing this for the first time. Especially with the Graflex 2.0 kit. The other threads have definitely helped me.

Before I purchased it I knew it was going to be a DIY kinda build with everything I was reading on the forums with the Graflex kits. And honestly being a noob I was kind of thinking that crystal chambers for these were some kind of myth, since the blade holder dominates the inside. With that being said, I still wanted to try. This will be my test for saber building and I'll post everything I can here. Thanks as always and I appreciate any feedback.

Here's my part list:

Graflex 2.0 kit
NBv3
Tri Cree XPE2 B/B/W with optic
7/8 heatsink w thermal pad
7/8 Blade plug
18650 Li-ion 3.7v

3 .5ohm 3 watt resistors
1 20ohm 2 watt resistor (for accent LED)
Gold edge connector clamp card (ESB and TFA)
2 3/8 brass couplings
8 3/8 plumbing washers
3/16 aluminum pipe
4/40 threaded rods
4/40 hex nuts
S3 black chassis disc

3D printed recharge port mount (this one may or may not be viable due to space, we'll see)
Aqua aura quartz crystal (found at local hippy crystal shop in Dallas)
34" 7/8 blade

I'll be updating this periodically so please enjoy and I appreciate any and all advice and comments.

This is pretty much everything:
