Hi Sudoers:

I'm building an alpha prototype of the donation apparatus I proposed on Aug 31 (see included email below.)

By any chance does anyone have any 3" PVC couplings lying around? I'm specifically looking for a 45° coupling like this:
https://www.homedepot.com/p/NDS-PVC-S-D-45-Elbow-3-in-Hub-X-Hub-3P03RTL/204799691

But will take 90° and 30° couplings and whatever else in 3" PVC you've got around, including straight pipe.

LMK what you've got.

Sincerely, -Peter

Hi Sudoers:

Now that the Free Store has to pay rent: can we design some sort of donation apparatus for them that can accept money but is not easily pilfered? My initial thought is some sort of large free-standing but heavy plastic tube structure (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorade_box) but I'm open to other ideas.

Bonus points: add some sort of fun sound as in this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbEKAwCoCKw

We could make these for sudoroom and the fabric and textile area too.

Anyone else interested in working on this? -Peter
