MP mold sprue plate set screw size

[osteodoc08]

Received two new molds from MP. Didn't notice at first if the sprue plate set screw was missing or if they fell out. I'm talking about the small one on the side that prevents the sprue plate screw from coming out of adjustment. Hoping to grab a few extra today at lunch, just need the specs. Thanks guys.

Funny Buckshot. Funny.

11k+ posts and a Mod, but doesn't know MP. (MiHa Prevec) molds.

Someone is just :kidding:

Good for a laugh though.

.............When I was taking care of the Group Buy Moulds section it was like herding cats. Actually I did get good communication and followup from the producers with the exception of Mihec. I reached the point where I simply ignored whatever he was doing since I could not get input from him and just ignored all his Group Buys. I haven't paid any attention to it (the entire GB forum) in a couple years so I suppose things must be going well for MP (MiHa Previc) moulds. At least I haven't seen any complaints posted into the Staff area in quite some time. For that I am very grateful :-)

Understood. Perhaps there is/was a language barrier being that he is in Slovenia. His molds are top notch, but I've been known to have to wait a week or two for a response from him. Thankfully I have no dealings with running a group buy. Now that accurate and NOE offer great turn around times, fast communication, and the molds i want, faster, I find myself ordering from them more so than others.

I know there a few threads about this. It's metric. The last thread I remember was about brass tipped set screws so you didn't mar anything up.

The size is M4-.7 (metric). You might consider these brass-tipped screws --> http://www.essentracomponents.com/sku/BTS-1210.

I hope this helps.
