T'is the season! Luke's Holiday Special lightsaber!

It's the same OD as the body, but if you hacked off the threads, cut the cap down, and sanded it a bit, I think you could jam it in there...

Trent this end cap looks amazing!!

 

[Trooper_trent]

I'm definitely in for this bottom cap. However, I would suggest modeling it after the actual graflite cap instead of the graflex bottom stamping. If possible of course

Yeah that was just a 2 minute test since I already had the stamp in svg. I wasn't going to do the work if nobody wanted one.

Mine has the endcap with the hole, not the slot. I'm just gonna cut it and shove it in and see what happens.

If you try and slim down the endcap to fit inside the tube, you’ll surely lose some of the text stamped around the outer edge, right?

 

[juajn7fernandez]

indeed you'll start loosing the very top of the letters.

another thin I noticed was a set screw that seems to hold the cap in place.

Yes, but I doubt the Holiday Special prop team cared about that

That’s what I figured

Where?

 

[SethS]

Where?

You can see it in the side pic I posted. I didn't even see it with it in my hand. Tonight I'm going to see what happens if I unscrew it.

You mean, acceptably ugly!

 

[Halliwax]

I lied. It was a tiny divot. I see no set screw. Going to eye doctor on Monday...

Sneaky man! I thought I was going to have my eyes checked lol

 

[Gregatron]

Well, we’re coming along here. If Trent does indeed go through with producing a bottom endcap plug, then that means the only parts which still need a good source are the red dome light/button and the emitter piece.

I have a pretty unique plan for my build. Is it cool to post here when I’m done? I think we kind of high jacked NeoRutty’s thread lol
