Flex material for triangles >> Flex-Plus Blue

Once you have the triangles, it's nice to have a flex material. It doesn't have to bend much.

Carlon, Lamson and Sessions make Flex-Plus Blue for electrical applications. It is a flexible pipe with ridges. Easy to cut off evenly as you can sut between the ridges.

Ten feet of it cost less than $5 at Home Depot.

1" segments are fine for "stalks" to triangles. Raised washers from below let the center bolt move freely enough. I like 1/4-20 1.5"ers.

Easy solution to cell making. Dirt cheap, too.
