I plan on making a light shield with my extra flock I have. I was going to make it shaped similar to the Astrozap Light shield(opposite the focuser). Does any one know how long it should extend from the top of my tube? Can't find any specs online except one person who made a home made tube made it 1.5x the diameter. XT10i outside diameter is 12"

There isn't a one-size-fits-all because it depends on how close the focuser is to the end of the tube. If there's a fair amount of tube extending from the focuser then 1.5x may be excessive.
