I'm not sure what you mean.Originally Posted by Doublea
If you are referring to the emitters, the left & right are just cut at 45 degrees off a miter box, and the center is the same, but carefully matched, so it comes to an arrow point ("V" shape).
If you are referring to the central "cross" or "+" section, where the ends taper off, that is the way that part was molded, I made no modifications there.
Yes, that part. Did you use some kind of special pvc then? Thanks for replying!
I got my colored PVC (and fittings) from a "Furniture grade PVC" company (google that, there is a company name that ends in "-fit").
I did not want to paint the PVC, so I chose the Black pipe & fittings. These are NOT panted, the plastic (through and through) is the color, and the "finish" has a very smooth "gloss" to it.
The dimensions are are equal to standard Schedule 40 plumbing pipe & fittings.
The body, the two 45 degree sides, and inverted "V" for the center are all 1" pipe, with a 1" end cap for the Pommel, and a 1" "Cross" fitting. I used 1.25" pipe to cut out 2 pieces to house the switch and recharge port. If you look at the pictures carefully, you can see the slight 1/8" gap between the two (as it is NOT one solid cylinder).
Very great work! I have a question about the led holder. You have used the screw for the led just like a retention screw of the blade?
