I'm looking for ideas to possible make my own lily pipes for my canister filter (5/8" tubing). Any tips for doing that?

[uarujoey]

@Nubster12 acrylic tubing, and a heat gun. Fill the tube up with sand, heat the tube up until you can bend it, then let it cool. The sand is needed so the pipe doesnt collapse on itself. You can also use pvc.

will this same method work with acrylic plastic as well?

[uarujoey]

@MegaXAnimeXOpenings This was on acrylic. Acrylic is a plastic.

[fishfreak95]

will it lose any of its strength this way?

[uarujoey]

@fishfreak95 Nope

You are an awesome guy for making these videos

Hey dude, many thanks for the vid.

Now I wonder if this tecnique will apply also to thicker acylic sheet.

I've seen some good works at ponoko and wanted to do some.

Want to know if professionals use the same tecnique.

Hugs.

Hi, I love your work when it comes to those acrylic tanks. I might do one myself one day. Keep up the good work.

@SajjadBro I did it with hair dryer and it bend, yesssssssssss.

[SajjadBro]

Can it be done with hot air solder or heating GUN?

[KungFuChess]

its better to put it in the oven or use a heat gun

[Nubster12]
