If you want to try! I took mine apart, but only as far as the outer shell, since the main board seems glued to the acrylic and I didn't want to break anything... If you are braver than I, and want to try to go further, go for it! LOL! And good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZYL Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Not only that, has anyone else realize the cardholder loses its grip strength? I was ecstatic when I got it, and started using as my work ID holder right away I have to have 2 cards to get into work: 1 for my building, 1 for my office however, the cardholder seems to have weakened dramatically after only one week of use, and they both slide out all the time now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZYL Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 I took a look at mine again, and it looks like the clear plastic is actually starting to separate (really getting annoyed with the quality of the id holder) If it really does come apart, I might take it apart to see how it's made, maybe attempt to do something with resin (I have some resin casting supplies) If that does happen, @iceknyght do you mind if I use your image to play with or experiment with it? No guarantees it's going to look good though! On 6/19/2019 at 5:10 PM, iceknyght said: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No guarantees it's going to look good though! Sure! the acrylic they use are 2 pieces (the etched part is on the inside, which makes it smooth on the outside, and probably catches the light better)... I tried taking mine apart, but the main electronics board was glued to the acrylic and I didn't want to break it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZYL Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Thanks @iceknyght I really think mine is going to break soon, so I might as well try it? Really annoyed with that fact right now. I'm thinking I can maybe make a mold out of one of the pieces, make 2 solid clear and then experiment with either printing a transparency film and sandwiching it in between (easiest), manually etching one side (labor intensive), or see if I can make a mold of the art and then either etching (ugh) or painting it.

Yeah, if it's going to break anyway, might as well do some experimenting! Sucks that it's already breaking, but it might lead to something better! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the time comes, maybe we should get Brien (@Harbinger) in the boat to make sure, we use the correct graphics. Could also imagine a 'First Order version'.

MaskedVengeance[Staff] Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Stumbled across this thread today, and I actually have a friend going to GE this weekend. He asked me if I want anything from there, so assuming it’s still available, I’d be happy to get some and ship them to any of you guys. Cost plus USPS First Class shipping. Now if only I could convince my friend to join me with his own TK build...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZYL Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 My colleagues just came back from GE and they didn't see this anywhere. Hopefully just temporarily out of stock. Also, I originally was going to dismantle mine since it was a bit wonky, but so far it's been holding up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if they avoided stores, then they wouldn't have seen them! LOL! And Dok Ondar's is an attraction as much as a store, IMO... There's so much to take in there! Easy to miss stuff while you're looking at all the decorations or Dok Ondar himself! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffalo[TK] Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 ukswrath - If you are able to personalize the plexiglass / make a replacement please let me know! I'd like to get one from you if I may. They would look great in everyones kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark CMF[Staff] Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 I will definitely be looking for these this weekend sometime! I may have to buy multiples though, as my boys will each want one - I'm specifically going to get my saber when they are not with me to avoid buying three of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
