Um, not quite Derek… the example above is the rigid tube, 1 bar thickness, inside a hollow stud. You’ve got the rubbery hose around the underside of plates. Not at all related. Sorry!

Cool, Derek! I suspect this is a case of convergent evolution. ;-)

Awesome! Of course, I came up with that idea over four years ago…

I really don’t feel there’s anything wrong with cutting flex-tubes, I do this on most of my models. All this nonsense about purist, if Lego company can make custom strickers why can’t we do this as well? Remember back in the old days ……when I was a lad sat down t’ mines opening & closing doors …on those old technic set you had to cut pneumatics tubes as they were all one length, for me it’s just the same with flex-tube…….get the scissors out !!!!!!

I used 2L lengths of flex-tube for the landing gear on my airplane:

And I’m finding new uses for my little bars all the time.

Yeah quite a few people don’t cut them. I do but still consider it vaguely illegal as it is less than one stud length (I cut to integers). Takes all types ;)
