Done / Completed Machined Aluminum Conical Knobs used on X-Wing Chest Box and V2 Lightsaber - Run Closed
- Thread starter Corellianexports
- Start date
I've started machining these today. I should have a firm price on these some time next week. So far, it's still in the $10+ range.
The diamond knurling is a bit tricky, but I will post some photos of the prototypes next week in case there is a preference (Light, Medium, etc.).

From left to right, light and medium knurling.
Also pictured is the 1/4-20 threading, which is the same size as the Han Hero and ESB blaster mount rods.
When you guys get a chance, let me know what you think. I can possibly go a little lighter and definitely heavier on these. Thanks.
I'm coming up with a total of $15 per part based machining the two prototypes, but if I'm making 25 of these,
$10 per unit should do it. $5 will cover US shipping for any number of units.

I can start taking orders on these as early as today (11/6).
I only have enough aluminum to make 25 units, so once the list fills up, that's it for this run.
I'm lucky enough to get a three day weekend coming up, so I expect to get this run done fairly quick.

Got it.
The list has been updated and I will post a new photo of a version with heavy knurling this weekend.
Thanks, guys.

when will you be taking payments? is there any way to not have mine drilled for 1/4-20?
I can drill and tap them to fit my starkiller V2’s which is 6m

In Scott’s video they look rather large, I don’t think 1/4-20 large but damn close
All AS were 5m, SH new V2 is 6-32
I have to double check now... AS cone knobs could be 6m...
I know it was 4m booster and 5m and 6m the chuck might be 5 and the knob 6... I’ll report back tonight with the correct thread
EDIT: CORRECTION, the starkiller cone knob is a 6m thread

Yes, I can avoid drilling your parts. I do have some metric taps. I will check the sizes this weekend. It looks like 5mm is just under 1/4.
Awesome! I was wrong the Anakin starkiller V2 uses a 6m bolt
I’ll re edit my pervious posts
If it’s not difficult I’d love mine to be 6m or blank, I’ll be sending payment tomorrow if I can’t make it tonight
Thank you
You're in luck. I just happen to have a 6mm tap. It's probably left over from some R2 parts.
Sounds good. Thanks.
