I was walking through Menards yesterday with a MHS hilt tube in my hand looking for ideas to create some kind of sled assembly for a saber.
I ran across these and thought some of you might find them useful:
They cost 2 bucks and they’re 4” long and have a wall thickness of .030”. They fit perfect in a MHS hilt tube and can act as an insulating liner or even an electronics sled. They’re pretty sturdy and should be able to be cut open while maintaining their integrity if done properly. For those of us trying to run 6 AA in their saber, room has always been an issue. 6 AA’s fit perfect in this tube when stacked in a pyramid configuration. It’s just a matter of coming up with end pieces to hook everything up in series and making it a custom 9v battery holder that is only 4” long.
I ran across this too. It fits a little tight and will require some sanding on the OD to make it usable. This tube has a wall thickness of .060”
