Does anybody use a honeycomb kill flash on their helix? Finding anything with a basic search hasn't panned out, neither has finding the thread pitch or cross compatibility.

My objective lense reflection is now a known problem and I'd like to find a way to minimize it.

Any direction on where to buy one or parts to make one work is appreciated. Screw on or slip over scope cap is totally fine.

Most of the scopes usually have a thread pitch 0.6 mm
I made a honeycomb for two of my scopes from aliexpress parts, they have kits available. Not simple but feasable, not pretty but working.

I need to see if my lathe can accommodate that pitch and see if i can make one. Thanks for the heads up!

If you have a lathe then I can imagine you have a thread gauge as well.
Try comparing the two, the 0.6 metric and closest in inches. The thread major dia and the short pitch shall not be too far apart in between the two - maybe doesn't matter really and can fit ???
If you make the ring OD smaller for a hair you may be able to "shim it" with a teflon tape...
I bought these honeycomb packs, and the retaining ring 3d printed...
