Replacement tubes are only about $15 but why spend that when I can just print them!

Man, I'm old. I was wondering how in the heck you 3D printed a glass and metal vacuum tube.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Sintered glass and using solder like filament!

(Okay that might be too ugly, even by my standards….)

LOL yeah, not sure what else to call these, its a tube and its for a vacuum.
