Summary This is a customizable gasket - you coud print it out with a caulkstruder (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:39954) or something similar. For similar designs useful to scientists see the Open-Source Lab How to Build Your Own Hardware and Reduce Research Costs (http://store.elsevier.com/coArticle.jsp?pageid=18200010&utm_source=Joshua+Pearce&utm_medium=marketing&utm_campaign=Open-Source+Lab+Free+Access) Instructions Choose your thickness, inner and outer diameters - make your STL and then print on your favorite open-source 3-D printer. End goal to extend the range of applications of 3-D printable open-source appropriate technologies (http://www.academia.edu/1507915/3-D_Printing_of_Open_Source_Appropriate_Technologies_for_Self-Directed_Sustainable_Development) Lots of experiments to come with different caulks, silicones, etc. If you have had success with any materials you think would be appropriate please leave a note in the comments.
