Limited Run Darth Maul TPM screen accurate lightsaber prop
- Thread starter Anakin Starkiller
- Start date
It's not - it specifically uses 16 threads per inch, which is an imperial measurement.
Excellent! Mind if I share this in the tutorial thread?
I think your good with that, the correct thread is 3/8-16
That’s listened as 3/8, but when you search here in the states (Lowes/Home depot) they both list the 3/8-16 as 3/8
I would try it, 3/8-16 is pretty common here, hopefully it’s the same in Europe

Thanks for making it so personal. Calling me a “tool” - I paid Dan some money, so I am entitled to my opinion. Your maturity in handling an opinion that is different to yours speaks more about yourself than it does me. I think you take life too seriously if my comments made your “blood roll”. I hate to think what more serious things in life might do to you.
No, it shows your immaturity of trying to call Dan out when you should have PM,d him regarding your issues. People like Dan are what makes this hobby so accessible to many different people with varying budgets. You made it sound like he had mistled you, and i find that very rude and obnoxious.

Same spot but opposite hand and the thumb. Worth it though. Fun quick build. Sanding all the washers probably took the longest part.

Why should I PM? Read the first few pages when the sale/run was announced. Was Dan upfront about what was needed apart from stating a 3/8" rod, not even stating an approximate length and hence the ensuing tools/skills needed to cut it. A sale is a contract of exchange. An informed sale is one that let's the buyer knows what he/she is in for, a hobby or a house or a horse, I want to know.
For a succinct list of requirements,
- One inch = 2.54 centimeters. 3/8" rod needed is about 20 inches = 50.8 centimeters, so you are looking at about 51cm to 52cm if you read metric
- One 3/8" O-ring or washer is needed as the piece between the two hilts when you align them together
- I recommend to use the metal hook of a coat hanger as the lever to extent the provided O-rings to fasten the O-rings at the correct locations on each hilt (fishing wires were recommended in the video but I disagree with that method, that's dangerous and can severe your fingers)
How hard was to list that? Pure and simple.
So ridiculous it's almost funny...
I have sent you a PM with instructions for returning your kit.
Once I have received it, I will refund the money that you paid.

I can count on one hand the times I’ve bought props with an overall experience & build as simple and enjoyable as this. And I’ve been collecting & building props for 10+ years. The horror stories I could tell... If you can’t appreciate this, and the fact that the replica is accurate to the screen used one down to the materials used, at the small fraction of a price which these replicas usually go for, you’re so in the wrong hobby it’s not even funny. The kit even came prepainted professionally! What more could anyone want? It boggles the mind.
I’m actually almost-kinda disappointed that mine is already 99% done. Just waiting for the small emitter disc replacements.
I’m so used to working on builds for weeks or months at a time that having such a fantastic kit which is mostly-done right out of the box is an incredible treat. Stellar piece.
