Where to purchase acrylic pipes/tubes?

[anu182]

Hi guys

Where can I buy clear acrylic pipe/tubes? I went to art-friend and Bras basah complex. The sell the 10mm thick wall ones..

I want to get the thin will tubes, easier to bend. Planning of making diy lily pipes..

Need about 1 meter long pipe/tube.

Any idea? Your suggestions will be appreciated

Pref shops I get with ordering.. :]

They have all the different sizes of acrylic pipes available so you'll get the most choices from there.

Thanks for the reply. Do you think they entertain walk-in customer that wants to buy 1 meter tube?

Yes, they have a retail showroom with sales counters for walk-in customers... the last time i was there buying some materials, they even serve me coffee and tea.

Shhhhhhhh.... I stole this idea from one of the forumer (bro jeffteo) in this forum. Look towards the top right hand corner for the DIY lily-pipe. It seems like he is using the top portion of a plastic bottle. If you need more information do PM him for the details. Not sure if he is willing to share with you, maybe he got it patented, and he might sell the idea to you at a price

P.S. Bro jeffteo, pardon me for not getting your permission to share your DIY lily-pipe. Hope you would not mind.

These are the diameter available from DAMA? 20/16 is way too big. 15/11 too loose for our standard 22/16
10/8 also too loose for 16/12. Normal lily pipe size are 17mm and 13mm.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies.

@UA - Great!! I will head down next week to purchase. Tea/coffee? Shoik service!!

@ConcaveLiNkiN - Wow nice!! How is the flow. Does it create that flow/swirl/movement of the store bought lily pipe?

@bennyc & @mukyo - Will be making a post once everything ready.

@ limz_777 - I will be trying heat gun(Need to look for 1 or else, make a candel heat gun) and heated sand method. Will be using some kind of find sand to pack the tube while bending to prevent deforming. I saw it while doing my research If I can find a extruded silicone core tube, will be better for heat gun bending.

Will be posting more diy project after my FYP. Do camp around..
