Acrylic/poly cylinders

[Formulator]

I’m soooo tired of paying hundreds of dollars for various reactors and reservoirs that basically amount to a clear plastic cylinder with end caps, a few holes in it and some pipe fittings, maybe a dc motor (eg. kalk stirrer).

I know a lot of folks have done DIY stuff with large diameter PVC, but I prefer the visibility of clear cylinders. Does anyone have a good source for larger diameter (4-6 inch) acrylic or clear polycarbonate cylinders? What do you use for the end caps?

I'm sure us plastics would have them.

Plenty of retailers online if you don’t have any plastic shops local. Even Amazon has it.

Btw don’t get poly it won’t hold up.. get acrylic only and I’d get cast if you can cause the extruded is hard to glue up clean it melts way to easy.
