The I Love Tenecor etched sights came with the first DIY kits a while back. Frag tank and sump.Super cool, i want one. I have like 4 of these little acrylic pieces. How did you make it?

Yes i have some lol! I memt the light/stand bit.The I Love Tenecor etched sights came with the first DIY kits a while back. Frag tank and sump.
That was a foam board mockup with elec. tape. Will be making a black acrylic base for this one.Yes i have some lol! I memt the light/stand bit.
How long, thick? Amazon has sheets to cut down to size, or they have 3*5 5*5 5*11 pcsQuestion: where would be a good place to get 5" wide strips of acrylic?
I'm thinking 12" *4" or 5". I'd need 5 of them or a sheet I could cut down...How long, thick? Amazon has sheets to cut down to size, or they have 3*5 5*5 5*11 pcs
Plenty of sheet/thickness options on Amazon. Get the cast type.I'm thinking 12" *4" or 5". I'd need 5 of them or a sheet I could cut down...
Also on ETSY with cut to size options.Plenty of sheet/thickness options on Amazon. Get the cast type.
Sketch up something. I have some ideas myself for these.Thanks! I want to make some "made-to-fit" Dosing containers and was considering just printing them but it's a 28 hour print job... That's a lot of opportunity for failure.
I'm looking at simple 5" x 2.5" x 5" or 5" x or 5" x 3" x 5" chambers to fit under the sump. Overall dimensions are going to be either 12.625" or 10.625" x 5.25" x 5" with 1/8" acrylic. I'll sketch something up. I think my calculations are off slightly.Sketch up something. I have some ideas myself for these.
I have a design for silicone assembly. Optional solvent. I will share soon.I'm looking at simple 5" x 2.5" x 5" or 5" x or 5" x 3" x 5" chambers to fit under the sump.

Is 1/8" acrylic going to make it more difficult though? Being thinner acrylic I would assume it's going to be easier to make a mess and harder to get level?
This is why I want to do an acrylic dosing setup - more practice and it's under the sump so if it looks garbage...I have completed my desktop aio. What I have learned is… I will just buy an already built version next time. I’m trash at it.
Solvent weld is not easy. You should see some of our screwups. The drop off design will be a hybrid silicone and solvent weld. I am working on designing success into the build process. I already have a silicone only sump design that will be prototyping this week.I have completed my desktop aio. What I have learned is… I will just buy an already built version next time.

Is this the sump diy you were mentioning earlier this week?Solvent weld is not easy. You should see some of our screwups. The drop off design will be a hybrid silicone and solvent weld.

ATO reservoir and dosing pumps are pretty simple and good candidates for silicone only assembly.

How difficult is it to do hexagonal shaped acrylic dosing containers? They would all fit together like honeycomb very well, and you could keep the sides all the same width, just adjust height for different gallonage?I have a design for silicone assembly. Optional solvent. I will share soon.
Part of why mine is still sitting wrapped up for me to stare at daily. I'm afraid to wreck itI have completed my desktop aio. What I have learned is… I will just buy an already built version next time. I’m trash at it.
Will this get a code or is that the final price?Solvent weld is not easy. You should see some of our screwups. The drop off design will be a hybrid silicone and solvent weld.
