Oh, that's cheeky. I'm pretty sure I could knock out a chuck-fitting
tube holder in an hour's printing. In fact, I'm fecking certain I could;
I'd make one in two parts that interlock beneath the tube and form a
shaft at the other end that is gripped by the chuck; should be pretty
secure once fitted, and will securely grip the tube lid together.
Of course, you could also make a whole rack for holding tubes, but that
*would* be slightly more complicated to design without having it fall
apart under extreme hammer-action-ating.
