View Instructable »Those new (ish?) Knowles multidriver packages are nice, and cheaper than buying the drivers and making a crossover. I used the GQ-30783-000 2 ways in a Shure SE shell re-fit that sound fantastic. I have the GK-31732-000 on my bench waiting for a home.

I tried using a rotator to make a hollow shell with a two part acrylic, but couldn't get good results. Yeah, because you need to tilt it back a little to keep the material from pouring out you get thicker walls in the canal and thinner walls in the body. Another option to think about... I recently made a pair of earphones using Shure SE shells (linked to an ebay listing below). They actually came out really well (unfortunately I didn't document the process otherwise I would have made a new Instructable). You don't get the same isolation as a true IEM, but the process to make them is significantly faster and easier.http://www.ebay.com/itm/C0-Repair-DIY-Unit-Housing-Shell-for-SE535-se425-se315-se215-W40-Earphone-/131499238359

I'm not saying you can't, just that you'd be better off without.
Looking at the Knowles site, they have "plugs" and "screens" which are different sizes. You want the plugs, which are all ~2mm diameter.
Don't know the actual diameter of either - dampers are a standard size as far as I know. For tubing you can use this: https://diyearphone.com/products/acoustic-tubing
