    Cool design, but it doesn’t help those of us who’d like something professional looking who don’t have access to a 3D printer. So it would have been helpful to suggest an improvement solution outside of the 3D printer option.

    Cool though!

    Like I said in the video if any of this interests you then let me know (like you have). Let me know what you think is a fair price for the internal fittings and or clips and I can possibly make them for you. Basically you have access to my printer for parts if you would like (at a fair price). Maybe a kit to make the Pro looking one?

    Also send me a email Ben@MechanicalMashup.tv and I’ll make it up to you :)

    Here is a snap clip that is pre-made, no more cutting PVC! http://www.snapclamp.com/

    They also have some useful 5 way T connectors. Great for antenna building. I have not used this company but I did use a different one but their fittings didn’t fit standard pipe sizes.

    Michael,

    I have seen those but here are a couple questions for you. Do they stop the tubes from rotating without glue? And do they stop you from pulling out the tube without glue?

    My criteria is, no glue, no rotation, no pullout, and fit standard pipe.

    Great link though!

    The printer is wild! I start to wonder what I could do with something like that. I am going to add it to the wishlist for this new thing happening in London called the unLab.

    Ben,

    I am glad to see that you are looking into bringing some of your ideas to the market as products. You are very clever with a lot of good ideas but for those of us that are not so handy making the projects is not all that easy.

    Having a portion of the project as something we can purchase makes a lot of sense to me. I like the idea of a kit.

    With the TeleprompterOutlet product which is based on one of your very first shows I am starting to work with several media companies that are doing Video Blogs and things like that and a low cost teleprompter is what they need. So is the low cost light you showed us how to make and the Green screen. The problem is that these guys are generally not as clever as you are and making some of these things is not possible. I hope you might think about kits that could be assembled by less skilled people.

    Thanks for the great shows.

    Thanks! I appreciate the pat on the back. I have my fingers crossed that products like this could somday support the show
