Illyiss, that blade plug design is trademarked, it is ARKM and Darkside Engineering's intellectual property. I support Jediseth's decision to respect their wishes and not share how to make this plug. That being said, if you found how to make it, try. Just be aware that the design is owned.

And I can reference him in a thread saying making it is "All good".  He explained how to make it, on a public forum, 8 years ago.  Not trying to sell anything, just looking for ideas.  Was actually more interested in the outer casing used by JediSeth.

The outer casing is 1 inch brass tubing.

I think I might have to slowly jump into this ongoing party of making blade plugs sooner than later. I know that using spare US blades and cutting them down is a viable option but I don't foresee me having a spare blade to cut down in the future so I have to ask, where do y'all get your polycarbonate tube from if you aren't using an Ultrasaber blade? Is it just as simple as special ordering it from your local home improvement store?

I bought mine at TAP Plastics.  It's a specialty plastics company on the West Coast and local to me.  I was able to get a 1 foot 1" OD polycarbonate tube cut for like a buck or two.  They do have online ordering as well.

Thanks, I think I've found a great shop for accessories.  Cool

Checked them out, really wish I was local as it's about $40 for one tube for me. That's pretty great that you have all those plastic products right available at your fingertips. Oh the things I would make... Thanks for the info Smiley

Polycarbs are usually expensive. You could get acrylic tubes as a cheaper alternative. Probably be able to get them from craft shops.

I'll look into acrylic then, I don't recall seeing anything like that at my local craft stores but it wouldn't be the first time that I've found new things. Thanks for the tip  Smiley

I used acrylic tube i found at my local craft store, sanded the insides to give it a matte finish and shoved/hot glue a Tamiya model car wheel in.

Hah!  Excellent!  I'd been thinking the same thing, that 1/24 or 1/25 scale model car wheels would be about the right size to fit in a blade tube.  Glad to see I wasn't the only one thinking it!

Great job!
