Can you duel with a neopixel lightsaber blade? Are they tough enough for events like The Saber Legion hosts? I know most say: NO. I say yes, and so do the tests I ran. This blade in this saber is TCSS 1" Thick-Walled with thick walled diffuser tube, 7/8" foam, and 3535 strips. I heatshrunk the strips, wrapped them in cellophane until they were tight going into the foam, then wrapped the outside of the foam with more cellophane until it was tight inside the strip diffuser tube from TCSS. I used the round tip on this one (WISH TCSS HAD A PARABOLIC TIP FOR THICK WALLED), but I think this blade construction is pretty darn good. I also hardened the electrical connections to the strips. I do my strips the way KR did. Common data across staggered strips, grabs data pads on both.
