Trying to find a peculiar shape

Trying to find a peculiar shape

Trying to find a peculiar shape

(OP)
Trying to find a polymer in shape of hollow cylinder with solid bottom face.

Dimensions of ID, OD need to fall within 32.5-34.5 cm range. Height isn't critical (> ~6 cm).

I've been looking all over and can't find this piece - please save me the $500 it would take to have someone make this.

RE: Trying to find a peculiar shape

Can you go the plumbing store and buy a PVC or ABS pipe and an end cap then glue them together?

RE: Trying to find a peculiar shape

This is a commercial rather than a technical question and is really outside the scope of this forum.

You need to search catalogues and the places listed above.

Alternative is to turn it from bar stock. That should not cost anywhere near $500.
