Recently dismantled a TV and its backlighting consisted of thin cfl tubes. This gave me the material to try something I've been curious about for a while!
I sealed some yeast in a little section of tubing for a friend's birthday (his last name is Baker). Kind of a shitty gift as i doubt it would survive as a keychain but I had fun making it (and its failed predecessors).
Here are the other attempts, from left to right: pepper, red and blue food coloring, yeast 
Plug one side of the cable on the left of the box, the other side on the right, press the button and whichever light doesn't come on means that part of the cable is faulty.
I learned a lot from my bad decisions :)
Great idea!
I made this a few years ago and still use it regularly! The "spoon" side fills up with 1 portion of rice and the hole in the handle can fit 1 portion of spaghetti. What do you think?
Edit: sorry about the double post.. I thought I had backed out and lost the first one so I posted this one, and I just noticed the first one went up
Made this out of a plastic bottle after seeing a YouTube video (can't give credit unfortunately as I can't find it anymore).
You can make it into any shape that the bottle will fit around (and can't be much smaller than the bottle since it will only shrink so much).
I used a piece of wood as template, cut the top of the bottle, put it around the piece of wood and shrank it with a heat gun. I then cut off the excess and shaped the closing mechanism.
It took a few tries to get it right but I've since used the technique to make containers/protections for several objects and I'm very happy with the results!
If you want to try this, be aware that the tightest you shrink the bottle around the template, the hardest it will be getting it out! I suggest making the template in atleast 2 pieces, this helped me a lot. (In this example I first pulled out the small wooden tab with pliers, and once out the bigger one came out easily).
Gave it paper towel lips, I hope it isn't against the rules!
Nice! Sounds very handy, I actually didn't know this type of extractor existed.
Oh Nice thats not bad at all
I didn't know about Farmell, thank you for the link!
That's where my biggest hesitation lies: old style or cartridge. I hear that they're better but I'm concerned about life-expectancy. Do you know how well those all-in-one tips age?
Hmmmm I wasn't thinking of getting hot air which I've never used, but could be worth getting for the future.
Can you completely remove the suction bit and cable?
Thanks for your input!
Pitted tips 🥲 I know your pain. I ended up taking it off but I was going to write I'd like to not go over 150€, so this is perfect. Thanks for your input!
That's awesome ! As a tinkerer myself I love to see these kind of projects come to life. Do you know of other communities that are about DIY ?
Wtf indeed
Can you not be a dick about it?
You're right, anyone coule have started it but I don't believe that's his point. I think he's talking about the fact that the fundraiser for a billionaire is allowed by the website while the one for the guy who allegedly took him out is not.
Ps: I'm not arguing for or against anything, just clarifying a detail about the comment you seem to have misunderstood.
As you can see on the image, you can barely see the artist, title and controls in the drop down menu "widget" on Android. This is not the worst case I've had but it's a good illustration, it didn't use to be this way, and I'd like to go back to how it was or anything better than this.
I sense i'm missing the joke, but in case it'q a genuine question: it doesn't, it's for weighing about 60grams of rice :) And thank you!
