Hey all,
I have been thinking of buying a 20" or 24" diameter cardboard tube from Menards (used for concrete forms) but they only stock up to 12"
I would have to special order it and it would be 12 foot long.
Would any of you be interested in buying a section of it?
Cut it into 3 or 4 sections depending on how tall you want it.

well crap, online price is $236.00 for 12' hmmm, still 60 bucks each if cut into (4) 36" pieces. rats.
I plan on cutting a oval access door hole in the side then bending a thin piece of clear plastic (or heavy vinyl) to make a viewing window.
And cover top with clear acrylic to let light inside.
Or you can get domed black plastic cap.
Maybe two more small "port holes" on sides for more light.
Paint it black so it looks nice and finished (or yellow if your Glenn
)
It would simply set over the top of your printer.
hmmm, just ran across this black PLASTIC 24" tube, would that be better or worse than cardboard??

just as pricey as cardboard... 4' piece is $80.00
