Hi Bro

If you are looking for quality M3 tapping tools, you can try hobby shops that sells Remote control planes. There are 4 shops in Fook Hai building and 1 shop on 2nd floor kitchen complex (Robo hobby). Those are good stuffs and of cos a price to pay. You can also find the M3 screws there too.

2. Ubi. (cross junction of ubi rd 1 n 2. Corner shop)

3. Jalan besar (opp stadium)

bro, u can get an M3 sized tap from any good hardware store that sells screws and other such items. Either that or you can drill a slightly smaller hole, then heat up an M3 screw and slowly screw it into the hole, make sure that for every 1/2 turn, you reverse the screw 1/4 turn back as per tapping method, so that the screw doesn't ceaze in the hole.

Hi bro....

Thanks for your comment....

I have gotten the M3 screw tapping,etc....

Oh ok. Anyway if you are use the tap, you would still need to drill a small hole also, it's just that with acrylic, u can actually create threads with a hot screw and it will melt the plastic and create the threads, whereas a tap will actually cut the plastic to create the threads, but both ways are also do-able.
