Packaging - Jacob-Dixon/MysticWhip GitHub Wiki
The packaging of our projects consists of 2 parts. First, the handle. The handle must be comfortable to use, and small enough to fit comfortably in the users hand. The second part is the whip itself. This will be woven and contain a visual component also.
First 3D printed prototype, very close the the final package design

##Fiber Optic Cable Because we are now using an LED to power our whip, we decided to use a "side glow" fiber optic cable, which evenly distributes the light across the entire length of the cable. [http://wiedamark.com/SideGlow_cat.pdf Here is a datasheet] for the side glow fiber optic cables we used. Below is an image of us wrapping the leather strips around the cable.
