6mm, thin wall stainless tubing
Cheap source for small amount of 6mm, thin wall stainless tubing.
I needed about 60 mm of 6 mm stainless tubing and was going to buy some from Small Parts but they wanted $13 + $10 shipping for a 300mm length.
Plus I would have to wait for at least 2 weeks to get it from the east coast
Browsing around on the Web I found a set of IKEA Upp-slu-kad SS straws for $6
Each straw is about 270 mm long, 5mm ID so 0.5mm wall thickness.
Comes in set of 4 , in sexy colours, plus a useful little cleaning brush for $6.

Another source for sets of different sizes (2mm to 8mm) is stainless steel knitting needles - thin walled (search on ebay)
