I would worry it might grip the clamp less because the outside is quite slippery. Also when you roll it round you get a spiral, so you would have some slight eccentricity.<br /><br />The tube I used is readily available in the UK from B&Q.nopheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12801535866788103677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339813531032979196.post-78336841709874352582011-06-26T01:05:23.080+01:002011-06-26T01:05:23.080+01:00Looks sturdier, simpler and easier to print, which...Looks sturdier, simpler and easier to print, which is always good.<br /><br />I assume you might be able to use ducktape (or an equivalent) to simulate the tube and pad the motor shaft?
