Machining the Emitter (with large image)
For the body of the lightsaber, I have an inner diameter of 1” (Will any battery packs fit in a 1” ID?) and an outer diameter of 1.5”. I’m going to use the 1” OD blade and all the wiring from this site. Below is a diagram of what I plan to make for the emitter. Is the 1/2" hole (in blue) too big? Will the led fall out? What are the dimensions for the led, collimator lens, and lens holder? Any help would be much appreciated; thanks.
Hooray for paint!
