It seemed like there was enough interest in the Lucky heads to attempt to create them here for cheaper. The equipment and process is not exactly expensive/complicated but it would only work on HDPE/MDPE pipe. You basically buy a heat plate and a thermostat, clean/face the adjoining pipe/cap, heat them up to a specific tempterature and then join whilst applying the correct amount of force. The moleclues flow into each other and then crystalise when it cools.
It's not really worth doing to MDPE though so would rely on:
1) finding HDPE pipe and sheets
2) being able to machine HDPE caps
3) having space to do it all (I don't think the cat would like plastic fumes)
Other than that, it's flawless I tell you.
