Limited Run Darth Maul TPM screen accurate lightsaber prop

Sorry I didn’t include Drew’s original post that parfaitlumiere indicated that this was an original saber. In addition, it’s not the MR because there is an additional steel ring surrounding the aluminum emitter face.

If you're looking at a Master Replicas version that's just their trademark stuff on there.

Can you get us a specific pic you're using for reference? I looked at the previous posts and didn't see that.

Interesting. I think where your arrows are pointed are just scratches, but it looks like an "EV" next to the left arrow, at least to me.

In the sabers, that I've assembled, you can line up the saber bodies to line up, then when you tighten them down by screwing on the end caps hold everything in place correctly. If there's any misalignment, the o-ring hides the difference when in place.

However, if the resin bodies that you received are too far off for this fix to produce a satisfactory build, PM me, and I can exchange your saber half for you.

Received my saber! Thanks, Dan!

Unfortunately, looks like USPS was a little liberal with handling this one, and some of the hardware didn’t make it, namely the end caps.

Dan - shot you a PM to see if I can snag some replacement parts. Thanks!

When you say that they lost the end caps, do you mean the small 3/8" steel discs, of the machined aluminum pieces?

 

[Anakin Starkiller]

Did that but that wasn't the problem. The bore for the rod were completely off center, running the length of the each hilt. At the ends were fine but they both drifted away from the central axis towards the "middle" of where the hilts meet. It's fine now, (my hilts also suffered some wear and tear because the bag ripped) but, like I said, I wasn't expecting to put in as much work as I did.

EDIT: I just realized from reading the previous posts, mine also didn't have the little spacers/washers for the emitter caps. If they're as small as some of the photos posted here, mine may have fallen out of the box during transit, or something.

Anakin Starkiller, can I get just these discs or are they readily available commercially?

Sorry about the problem. PM me your mailing address and what you need and I'll get the replacement parts out to you.

Fun fun!!!

Excellent. You sir are a gentleman. I haven't received mine yet but I hope to soon and this video will help massively.

Dan, it looks like you provided the goods once again. Well done buddy, you are a credit to this hobby.

Slightly misaligned when fully tightened.

 

[Hatefrost]

Don’t get me wrong, I still love it!

 

[Anakin Starkiller]

The thing to do is place a washer in between the two halves and then once it's tightened, role the o-ring into the recess.

 

[Filandrius]

Exactly what I was thinking. That way the O-ring will align the two halves. That's why you need a spacer washer!

 

[Hatefrost]

What size washer?

 

[StClair185]

Anyone know where to find a battle damaged end cap for this?

Yeah, I was kinda thinking that the O-ring would solve the problem without having to mod the hilt halves.

Original covertec’s don’t have the bevel cut out of them to sit flush on the saber right? Should have a flat bottom

Looks like TCSS doesn’t carry the flat bottom one, just custom job

Anyone have a link to a original covertec wheel?

hi just found this on ebay item number 264129951437 for the flat covertec for the saber and there are from England hope this helps

 

[E Williams]

Maybe a foam or neoprene washer would help with alignment as well?

Thanks buddy!

What size o-rings are these? I need to purchase one.

Thanks Dan! My kit came today. Quickly threw some paint on those inner washers, I think it really makes the emitter pop.
