Hi Mart, sorry to hear this.

"Luer Locks" are mostly used in medicine - so my best guess is actually a pharmacy, doctor's office or hospital if you are looking for a local source.

It might be easier to get an "extension tube" used for infusions, which usually has luer lock male + female on each end... But please don't call an ambulance for that :-P

Otherwise try eBay or just google for "luer adapter male"; I was able to find an adapter made from metal which had a nice M5 thread on the other end - great for mounting by cutting a thread into the tube.

Good luck!

Malte

The part that came with the kit is this: http://www.adhesivedispensing.co.uk/mal ... -725-p.asp. As you see, it's not that expensive. If you are not in a hurry, pm me your address and I'll send you a replacement.

How did it broke? (Thinking if I should start including two in the kit.)

All things Luer - www.valueplastics.com, now http://www.nordsonmedical.com/products/ ... tings.aspx

This bondable "build-a-part" variety was really useful when I was prototyping custom nozzles in ABS, PC and Polysulfone: http://www.nordsonmedical.com/products/ ... tings.aspx

They sell "retail" in bags of 100, but really cheap.

If smaller batches needed - try Amazon for "luer fittings".

Whathappened to smallparts.com? Did Amazon just kill them?
