I built one and even got to put mine next to the screen used bat. I can take some measurements of mine and adjust them for the screen used bat and post them. It won't be until tonight or tomorrow though.

Where did you manage to find tubing with sizes that precise?
I can't find anything like that anywhere.

Thank you!

I used PVC pipe from Home Depot. I remember having to reduce the size of the ends of each pipe to make them fit into each other.

sorry if i'm being a pain :X

your dimensions make it seem like the tubing you used lets say for the largest end was 2 11/16 OD. I went to home depot and looked and all they have are sizes in 1/4's of an inch nothing like 11/16 or 3/8 or 15/16 and so on.

were those the sizes you ended up with when you reduced the size? and if so, if it isn't a pain, what were the outside diameters of the pieces you did use?

THANK YOU!

The dimensions I posted are of the real prop bat not my replica. I built my replica years ago, before I had access to the real prop.

Is there a store bought item for the end piece?

 

[Jedifyfe]

They sell caps but I had to make the triangle piece from styrene
