7' Hose Routing wo/ Canister?

[PfcAJ]

I machined a mold for an extended weight. Works perfect for tucking the hose

I want. Message me and I’ll buy a few!

Weights come out at about 2.5 lbs and the dimensions are below. The webbing slot is tapered and radiused. Previous versions of the mold made one at a time; I redesigned it so that we can crank them out a lot faster as we've had a lot of people requesting them. The GUE community up here is snatching them up as fast as we can make them.

Ohhh I like that, I am about 2lbs more buoyant on my right side, and normally have to use a trim weight.

If you get an extra message me, I'm not too far south from you.

That is odd. I thought GUE was "Canlight or death!!" Why would GUE specifically be snatching them up so quickly?

Don’t know what to tell ya’ ; I’m not a GUE

Lots of us are using them even if we have a canlight. It feels more like having a bottom bolt tail weight in terms of how low the weight is (compared to a regular lace through weight on your waist belt). Also, takes up less real estate. You can see what it looks like on my rig (orange drysuit) in the first 15sec of this video.

Most of us use at least 10lb around here and have chopped V-weights on the bottom bolt which is a ~5-6lb chunk. Some divers have improvised ways to add the additional weight on to this lower bolt (or cast bigger chunks of lead) but then it's not ditchable. These rods give you the same weight distribution and is also ditchable.

Find someone with a 3D printer and have him/her make you one of these.
Search Thingiverse - Thingiverse

Edit:Looks like someone else posted the same thing. I use one and it works fine.

That's cool. I don't need one but it is cool.

long hose is too short for me to tuck in

It is cool and I can probably find a maker space in the area to print it. Will the material used in a 3D printer withstand salt water?
