Step 4Padding the end caps
The Styrofoam will be used to pad the end caps so the laser doesn't hit hard against the end caps.
1. You will need to get a Styrofoam piece and make sure it is bug enough to fit into the end cap. It is OK if it is too big.
2. Press the end of the pipe firmly against the styrofoam so it makes an indentation. Look at the image below for more help.
3. cut around a square out around the circle. (image 2)
4. Cut off the corners of the square, so it becomes an octagon.
5. Cut the enough styrofoam off the bottom so the main piece only fills about half of the end cap.
6. Firmly push the styrofoam into each end cap. (image 3)
7. repeat steps 1-6 for the second end cap.
