Hi all. Long time lurker here.
I need some advice on reinforcing fiber optic cable not exceeding 4mm diameter.
I will be using lengths not exceeding 6” and placing a model on top not exceeding 2oz/60g.
I am looking to reinforce the fiber so it can remain rigid and hold the weight of the model. I haven’t found the right kind of tubing yet. Was looking at clear straws but can’t find the right size.
I was also considering heat shrink but I’m not sure if it will be rigid enough, let alone how it will affect the light.
I was also thinking about clear epoxy resin.
If you guys have any ideas it would be much appreciated.
Of course I will show the final product.
