I don't know. The Acrylic needs milling one way or the other as you have to mill an area away so the water will have a place to travel to the outlets. With my 9 or 13 hole designs it will not take very long to mill. I am not going to consider the copper tubes simply because I have a mill and am not going to be making these to sell. Look at the "New Design Idea" thread and you will see lee's design that is made up just as you say.

I did the one shown in the pics above with the laser at work. It only took about 2 minutes. The next one will be milled on my CNC mill and I am guessing it will take around 15-20minutes as it is a small mill with limited RPM's.
