Doggo outgrew lite up collar but it's just led attached to this clear nylon or pvc piping. Feel like if I knew what the tubing material was I could probably find some. This is 8mm OD.

Yep, it’s PMMA cable.

That would be what they are looking for.

Fibre optic with side scatter.

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

That totally looks like it to me

That looks spot on but it's way more expensive than a new collar😅. Figured it would be really cheap by the foot but maybe I just need to get the new collar!

FYI there's another style of LED collar which is not a full collar but rather a rectangular strip of LEDs that you can attach to any collar. That way it can't be outgrown.

I'm walking him ATM but it looks like it says "Nite Ize" on the side

[–] scrion@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

As someone else in this thread said, that is PMMA, basically acrylic. I work a ton with the stuff to distribute light to displays and indicators when designing hardware prototypes. I also had dogs once, same stuff really.

That's a really good question, I bet you could drill down the categories on https://www.mcmaster.com/ and find it there

Maybe the ldpe rods here https://www.mcmaster.com/products/plastics/plastic~/

Maybe pic didn't do it justice. It's not really tubing. It's solid so light can scatter through it.

[–] solrize@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Oh hmm I see what you mean. Not sure what keywords to try. I'll give it some thought.

I don't know if it is possible to make PVC transparent, but I would guess that's what it is.
