No set screws, they aren't on the model or our test prints. We left the 5mm grub screw hole shop to the end user as this may not be in the right place with threading from the shop. Following Halliwax's tutorial for the V3 emitter hole should work. However, the cylinder where the 5mm grub screw goes is a tad bit shorter than the V2 emitter so a new template may be needed for this part-stay tuned. The other holes that are present in the V2 emitter may not actually be on the V3 emitter.
I'm doing my best as I tried to visualize this process in my head earlier. My little daughter was actually helping me pack these up today. Family is great help.george this is so organized its incredible
You could use the 5mm grub screw for a blade retention screw. That's what I'm planning on. I might put another one on the top cylinder below the lip, but probably not.Oh, I was actually talking about set screws for a blade! Again, no worries if they’re not there!
I apologize for the shipping delay.
Delay? This has to be one of the most organised runs I've ever been lukcy enough to be a part of - no need to apologise!
I love how these turned out, thanks again George. This may have been mentioned before but is there going to be templates made for the two set screws and drill mark on the booster section?
That certainly does help, thanks you guysI hope to task Halliwax with this, if he has time. Otherwise, I'll attempt to make a newer template based off of the one in his tutorial, here:
Anakin Starkiller V2 + V3 Builders kit Tutorial
The 3mm set screw in the windvane area is covered above. The upper pommel, 5mm, set screw is eyeballed to how far you think it deviates from the already existing booster set screw that is pre-drilled and tapped into the hilt's booster section.
As for the emitter's 5mm set screw, the longest height cylinder in the V3 emitter I shipped is a bit shorter than the same cylinder on the V2 style emitter supplied by Anakin Starkiller in this 2018 run. This new emitter will need a newer, not as wide, template since it will proabably pull the set screw placement too low on the V3 emitter.
I hope I answered your questions to your satisfaction.
Best regards,
George
