This is directions for building a simple home-cage dual sipper device without electronics.
- 3D print the housing - STL for 3D printing is here, or if you want to modify it the TinkerCAD design is here
- Bolt on Prime-Line MP9254 Mirror Bottom "J" Hanger Clip with an M4-8mm bolt and an M4 nut
- Done!

-
Cut 15ml falcon tube bottom off and glue the disposable valve to the tube using hot glue gun. Make sure to drill a hole in the top of the cap to vent!
