I am currently in the stage of planning another lightsaber, and am looking for perforated tubing (between 1.33"-1.45") preferably. Anyone got any ideas?

Something like this


Or this



If they are close to what you want they are exhaust baffles. Available in most common sizes and in mild or stainless steel.

Hope that helps.

Also look up motorbike bafflers... Same thing as the first pic posted. Though almost all bafflers have a seem.

Thanks, I'm looking for something more like the top one, just with holes larger, fewer, and wider spacing apart.

Thank you, I searched for many different baffle types (including motorcycle baffles) but the perforated section isn't long enough.

How about hexagonal perforated tubing, any ideas about that?

I know I'm a bit late on this, but I found what I was looking for. Thank you @doppelganger and MangyDog for your help!
