Just venting. Here I was doing the last few tasks for completing my saber, and I break the main AV switch. Not a huge loss I figured, just order a new one and good to go. Now today I'm drilling a new hole for the blade set screw, as when the LED was installed, the emitter didn't line up the same way and the current set screw hole ended up behind the shroud. Drill the hole, no issues. Go to thread said new hole.... and the damn thread tap breaks off in the hole nearly flush, nothing to grab onto to try and twist it back out. Tried to drill it out with the strongest metal bits I have, they just skip over and hit the aluminum. And of course, the emitter is currently out of stock in the shop....... In the words of several Star Wars characters. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
