So a few things have changed...Quite dramatically.
At this point, the acrylic tubing I had envisioned, just isn't possible.
I was going to "rough it up" make a lightsaber burn but, it's just not happening...I ordered some acrylic tubing, it literally cost me about 100$, in trying to cut it/make it usable...The entire length of tube split.
In calling the company and explaining my purpose, contrary to what I was originally told, they've come to the same conclusion I have, it's just not possible to accomplish my original vision.
With that in mind, I've custom ordered a new stand, different design...And I will be modifying the base to be an LED base...I have a few ideas.
This obviously kicks this project back a few weeks...Sadly.
I'm really bummed about the acrylic tubing debacle...But, crap happens and I have to adapt.
The robot also isn't feasible (Don't know if I mentioned this or not) because of the weight of the saber.
So, I've had to make some BIG changes that, I'll reflect in the next few weeks...
Still waiting on the watercool blocks...Thankfully, they'll be amazing enough that, they might just have been worth waiting.
Nothing has changed about my overall goal or the original vision...I will make every effort humanly possible to keep it as close as I can to my original concepts.
