(...) Ah, this is the thing. Cutting PNEUMATIC tubing is allowed, as Lego themselves advocated it from the very first pneumatic sets, and gave you cutting guides. Cutting FLEX tubing isn't, as they always supplied it in correct lengths. So, you're (...) (21 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) That's brilliant. Cutting pneumatic tubing is a 'pure' method IMO. Various lengths of tubing are one of the more usefull parts in fact, but this never occured to me. Well done. They'd also fit inside the tubes of 2+ wide plates wouldn't they? (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) <snip> (...) Yeah, go for it! If you look around in .trains and .technic you'll find lots of MOCs with "non-standard" lengths of tubing. In fact, Lego fully condones the cutting of tubing (at least the pneumatic kind), as kits are supplied (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) I'll go with "C", it's valid but you're evil anyway... But I'm not very pure, I already cut flex system tubing. (21 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

Hello fellow Schleimers, while working on my six-wide Ford F-150 (1 stud to 1 foot scale, seen (URL) here>) I discovered a SNOT technique that I wound up not using...mainly because I'm not sure how "pure" it is. It uses a tiny piece of tubing: (3 (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) Wow, that's clever. Nice work! So I am wondering if it is even possible to go smaller. The geometric ratio seems to suggest not, but then I keep thinking that's the smallest you can go and someone goes smaller. (21 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) Yeah, I've tried that technique before (for a different project) and noticed the same gap. How about using a small bit of flex tubing inside a bit of pneumatic tubing like so: (URL) No gap: (URL) And, it's still technically 100% Lego, though I (...)

Heh, that's what I get for toying around and calling "done" the first thing that worked. :) I hadn't even thought of that until just now, but yeah, could easily reduce that mess of 5 pieces down to a single 1x1 with side studs on its side...
