rounded end cap for polycarbonate tube

[jadonbrez]

Does anyone know where I can find a rounded endcap
for a 1" o.d 3/4" i.d. lexan (polycarbonate tube) to finish
off my first illuminated lightsaber. Any links,suggestions,
or help would be extremely helpfull.

well, I found this:
www.fxsupply.com/products/hemis.html
the 1" hemisphere with 1/8" walls will have an i.d. of 3/4" - would that work for you?

[jadonbrez]

wow, well that has potential. Thank you for the link.
But, there is a 25 dollar min. for a buck o' 5 part. Plus
I have a ? of strength of union for dueling without it
actually entering the tube.
but thank you very much for your tip.
It might be what I have to go with.

These come in colors to match the blades

Have you purchased these before? If so do you know the thickness of the wall. The link does not state that dimension. However it does have a "T" dimension which makes me assume they are quite thick. My blades are 1" o.d. with a 1/4" wall. If you have used them before any problems with them staying on while dueling?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the link. OHH! and a 10 dollar min. order is a bit more in my league.

hmm... from their drawing the "T" Dimension is the Inside Diameter - so this one:
www.plastruct.com/Pages/Action.lasso?-database=PI.PRODUCTS.fp5&-layout=Complete&-response=OnlineProductDetail.html&CCode=VHH-32&-search
(the clear 1" OD dome) has an ID of 25/32"... so the wall thickness is only 7/64"... now very sturdy I'd say
