Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me the different screw thread types and screw sizes for the various holes on the Anakin Conversion kit/bladeholder.

I had some ideas to make some glow-through pins and possible a way to attach a removable pixelstrip blade via 3d printed parts threaded into the heat-sink seat.

On another note, the Anakin conversion kit is a work of art in itself. I was so eager to test out the fit, so I put it into the empty MR hilt before feeling for any burrs (on inside of MR hilt). Scratched the nice finish on the unseen portion. Super dumb.


Cheers.

My local big box hardware store has a plate with all the common sized screw holes labeled. Assuming you have the screws that go into the holes, you might be able to take them to your local store, and see what size they are.

Glow through pins sounds really cool.

Thanks, rlobrecht

I have a tap and die set at home as well, but testing them risks damaging the threads a little. I was hoping it would be available off hand.

Heres a hint for glow through pins. BIC lighters. Empty them first!
