    The copper end cap would be for the heat sink. I didn't know if it would work or not. Just looking for other options.

    A 1" copper end cap would be too big to use as a heat sink. It would defeat the purpose of holding the LED and optics, and acting like a blade stop.

    What would be a good optional item that I could use as a heat sink besides the heat sinks sold on TCSS?

    You need a 3/4" copper end cap to do what you are looking to do, depending on the size of pvc you plan to use. Darth Midian has a good tutorial on using a copper cap for a heatsink here:

    If you use the end cap method, you won't need the heatsink shim....that is only for use with an MHS saber. The 3/4" copper cap will indeed have about a 1" O.D.
