Obi-Wan TPM Saber Parts Question

[Griff13]

I am looking to replace and modify some parts on some of the sabers and was wondering where to find the best quality parts. Looking for the valve, buttons, and other small pieces. Any help is appreciated!

Maybe Saberz has some thoughts?

You will want to check that whatever you find will match threading and diameter.

Thank you for thinking of us. At present we don’t have plans to make red buttons or gold knobs available as spare parts. But maybe that will change at some point.

That’s a good point. Thank you.

I only have resin casts of the red button and the knurled knob... and the brass thingy. They all need to be modified like the original parts in some regard. I was teaching myself how to mold and cast and threw a bunch of original parts in silicone. Some paint or rub n buff and model work would make them spectacular lol

What sabers do you own? What is inaccurate about the parts you have? It's hard to recommend what to swap out, when we don't know what you're starting with.

That’s awesome! I’m doing some more research also and will try this.

I am referring to the Obi-Wan TPM that I had in the title. Just looking for replacement parts as stated in my first post. Was just wondering about different sites or people that made these is all.

Right. But, what exact saber do you own? Larbel? Korbanth? TXQ? If we don't know the specifics of what you have, we don't know what could be upgraded?

They are Larbels.

I offer the brass barb assembly here:

Obi TPM Parker Barb + Rivet Assembly

Many thanks to Dewy for his help in locating these parts! I only have a small quantity available, currently. I take the Parker barbs that Dewy found and machine them down to the correct dimensions, and then include a real aircraft rivet and an M6 set screw. The knurling on these barbs is the most accurate found to date.

I'm not sure what size the thread is for the brass knob on the Larbel. You may have to drill and retap it to accept this version. I may offer some other Obi TPM greeblies later on, but it's just this for now. I don't think Roman Props offers blanking caps any more. Maybe Starkiller will have some available after his upcoming run.

Aside from that, you'd have to get custom work done to improve the other features of your Larbel, like the emitter plate/steel rod. Might be worth checking out Starkiller's or Saberz' upcoming replicas as those reflect the latest research.

Awesome! Thank you very much and I appreciate the information!
