and youd be left with with 60 dowel pins ("worth" 5.80€) and 875g of PETG (worth 28.86€). This is PPU particularly high because of the expensive filament used in the calculation. and youd be left with with 60 dowel pins ("worth" 5.80€) and 875g of PETG (worth 28.86€).

I think a fair cost assesment is somewhere inbetween the two, since most people will have some filament, and so the 6.60€ per valve of filament are a bit over the top.

[The only test I've managed so far](https://chaos.social/@la/116727325081926518) was me blowing into the tube with the other end in a glass of water, to see if it closes and seals agains my lung pressure.
