Nate Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I made one out of 1/4" plastic tubing. Just figure out the lenght you want apply heat with a lighter and wait for it to deform. Then you just stretch it until it is the diameter you want and cut it off. Heat the other end and stick the dropper end into it. You may want to add some epoxy to the dropper/tube connection to make it stronger. Its not the prettiest thing in the world but it was free and only took a minute or so.

jackaninny Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Did I miss the price and availability somewhere in the thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfisher Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 p n a Did I miss the price and availability somewhere in the thread? I'm making 10 on the first run, keeping track of those in the thread who have tipped their hat. I am still trying to get a price from the blowers. I am sourcing my own tubes now as the cost is further reduced cutting out another middleman. I am trying to stay under the $15 per plus $5 shipping that another person has built them for.
