darth2518 - the piece I shipped out with my project run was 20.25". 3/8-16 is the correct threading.

Correct 3/8-16

In my video I give the measurement on how long to cut it.. I think it was 22-3/8” don’t quote me on that. Better off watching the video

I think it was 20-3/8" not 22-3/8"

Your right, I actually took a bunch of assembly pictures to finish the tutorial the other night. Once I set up the acid for the next V2 I plan on acid dipping the ends of the mail saber

Also doing a battle damage one at the same time

This is a really nice kit Starkiller made. And really easy on the wallet too!

Any video tips on weathering the emitters?

I will be doing a video of the battle damage one, quick video. In that one I’ll do the acid dipping

I’m all over the place right now, bits of pieces here and there, gotta throw them all together

Does anyone know where I might be able to find replacement O rings for this piece? I'm starting to see them start to crack (which was expected) so wanted to get a few replacements just in case.

Thanks!

Lowes homedepot and ace all have great O ring sections

If they don’t have them in the nuts and bolts section, check the plumbing section where the hot water tanks are

One of my O-rings broke!

Try Home Depot or Lowes plumbing isle where they sale the universal sink knobs. I came across variety sizes of O rings being sold in those isles. Hope it helps.

Do the O-rings break normally? Do we have to buy many spares?

 

[jorged123]

I broke 1 or 2 of mine. It wouldn't hurt to have more spares, if you handle it a lot.

Mine is just on display and 2 orings broke?

 

[corliss1]

Hmmm...I suppose it's possible they got a tiny nick from the install that weakened a spot, and they are on there pretty tight. Mine has been on display since whenever the run first completed and I haven't noticed any issues.

 

[russellsch]

I've barely touched mine, & two have broken with it just sitting on the stand. You should be able to replace them with o-rings from a hardware store.

 

[russellsch]

Hhmmm, just checked mine. All of my surviving oo-rings are in this condition.

Might see about hitting up a hardware store sooner rather than later.

 

[Hecubus114]

I noticed mine had a broken one a couple weeks ago. Just been sitting in a case since I got it.
