Hey, thanks! Sorry for the late reply, didn't expect this post to get much attention. Lol.
Here are the steps I took (in order):
NOTE: If your battery pack does not fit inside your PVC main body sand around the PVC from the inside in a circular motion (move upward if you have to) until the battery pack fits. I used three AAA for mine. I bought this battery pack from Amazon. They fit nicely after some sanding in my PVC. Make sure there is still some friction so the battery packs don't go swinging up and down.
NOTE: Keep a track of wire management. Too much wire can cause electronics to push against one another too much. I fell into this problem. 24 AWG to 22 AWG will do fine. And USE heat shrink as Rob advises, it will make a difference as time goes on.
WARNING: Wear a breathing mask to avoid PVC dust in your lungs and wear goggles! And make sure to not breathe in any fumes from the PVC because the Dremel will heat it up you do not let the PVC cooldown in between cuts or if you sand for too long. For the best protection do this outside if you can and shower afterward.
I'm using these.
They will fit into 5/8" ID tubing with the LED strip, but it's kind of tight. I'm only placing about half of one holder in the 5/8": the rest of the electronics are inside the connector. The full 3/4" would be a lot better if you could go that big.
