Soda Bottle / Pipe Coupler for POV Baton
Description
This is based on the Genesis Poi project. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:918847 Can also be used for coupling bottles to pipe for fluid projects! Got tired of poi, wanted to give baton a try. ~~Secret advantage is that an extra battery can be hidden inside the pipe, or even extra electronics to provide fancier or larger pattern sets, not to mention controls.~~ EDIT 11/19/2017: After trying to twirl for the first time using 1/2" PVC and failing miserably I looked up the standard diameter of a baton (which I should have done to begin with), which is 3/8ths. 3/8ths PVC is way too flexy, and too thin to really fit any electronics in there. RIP. Revisionwise I added a hexagon option to prevent the baton rolling away when it's dropped, and lengthened the threading area for better grip. Modified from MrWhat's SCAD file after eliminating unrelated clutter.
