So, it seems both Boba Debt’s and Todd’s Costume disassembly videos are no longer available. I’ve tried searching for alternative videos with no real luck. Do you know of any other disassembly videos or tutorials?

[@MrMjh55]

Denix has changed the Mauser around a little bit, and it no longer has the internal wall for the switch holder to sit against. Do you know of a solution to this, or is there a different type of switch holder I could use?

[@jamesblue13]

where did you get your LEDs for the barrel?😀

[@bobbyddybbob]

what's your shape ways page? I would like to get your fancy switch holder. also where can I find the switch itself? thanks for taking the time and making two awesome videos showing step by step how to build the DL-44.

thanks for the reply. I found the resource list on the Blaster Facebook page.

What type of adhesive do you use for grill and other loose parts?

[@mhalo5]

misbehave75 A simple 2 part epoxy is perfect. Sets in a few minutes but gives you enough time to make placement decisions.

Awesome two part video! Really informative. I'm not on the forums, just stumbled here after deciding to make my friend the DL-44 blaster from the Rubies toy gun for her X-mas, so this craftmanship is on a whole other level. Do you know if & where it's possible to buy a finished blaster of this quality?

[@comiconwaycon6759]

I sell finished blasters with sound, you can find me on Etsy @ KTDProps

Hey - what spray paint did you use? And also, did you prime? Nice work - watched both vids and love it

[@mhalo5]

Ronan Daly: I used Rustolium Flat Black. It was a paint/primer all in one style spray.

That battery pack is going to be the death of me ...... but great video though!

[@mhalo5]

How so? :)

[@5MrHotPie5]

Machinimax Productions Well, because you were definitely right when you said that battery pack wasn't very common, and there is literally no room in that gun for anything bigger.

[@mhalo5]

Are you a member of our Blaster Build group on Facebook? We have a document with links to the parts you need, including the battery pack.

[@5MrHotPie5]

Machinimax Productions Wow, thanks for your help! Now all I have to do is wait for the DL-44 parts to be in stock!

[@leeskelton9715]

⁠@@mhalo5 would you happen to have a link to this. I’m already on the Facebook group but am having trouble finding it. Many thanks

What size is your drill press to get down the barrel for your LED wiring?
