Summary

This is based on the Genesis Poi project.

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.
