3mm Tubing/hose sources?

[TheLegoDr]

Hello. I am curious if anyone knows of a good source of tubing. I am wanting to put leaves to make angled/droopy trees and whatnot. Obviously I’d prefer a brown color for the tubing. I know Lego makes it, but I am willing to use unofficial materials to grab bulk quantities.

this is what I am looking for. I’ve tried google, but it always comes up with things I don’t want exactly, so thought I’d ask if people here have any experience with some.

 

thanks!

1/8-inch nylon tubing (3.17mm, a bit closer to Lego's own 3.2mm flex tube) would probably fit better in clips and is available in bulk from Grainger and other suppliers.

Thank you for asking this question! I've been hunting myself and getting nowhere fast.

In the U.S. McMaster-Carr is your source

https://www.mcmaster.com/

I don’t have the link at hand but if you Google McMaster with LEGO tube it should be in the search results.

This thread will give you the detail you need and a link to the product:

Also, while we're here, if you need a source for pneumatic tubing (and also Lego-link string in one of the comments):

Thank you all for the input. I will look into all of this and see how successful it is. Thanks!

 

Edit: Looking at the two other pages, the second one seems more for what I need. But unfortunately does not come in brown, so I'm going to have to stay official brown tubing or go another route. Thanks for the help though!
