Step 7Cutting your seperators
All that is left is to wire your cathode inverter. I recommend wiring it instead of using a molex connector simply to keep the wires to a minimum. I mounted my cathode inverter to the wall; feel free to do the same.
Now it's time to cut your plexi tubing.
I found that the miter saw worked great for this. I cut my segments to ½inch but use what feels right. I ended up cutting 15 the first time, then going back and cutting 2 more to fill the extra lengths.
They'll look pretty messy and may have some ridges on them. I just smoothed them down on a belt sander then used my fingernails to break off the left over melted edges. When I finished, I had one really nice clean set of tubing segments.
