Building a pour system

By using some PVC, a funnel, and some Plumbing Goop, I’ve created a very nice system that all my tubes can feed into and one nice output that is tall enough for a typical glass.  I have a T PVC part that I use to mount to the table mount.  I sealed off the end that will mount to the table mount so then the the liquid will only go to the funnel.  I had to shave down the funnel slightly to fit it in but now the nice thing is I can remove the entire pour assembly and put it in the dish washer!

That's a nice solution. Since IDD was just a 3-fluid prototype, we just taped our hoses together. The nice thing about a funnel-type contraption is that you can run multiple fluids at one time and it'd (hopefully) mix them properly. The downside to that is that you have to literally watch out for a buffer overflow condition.

The main question is that since the pour nozzle's so high, how's Drunktender at pouring into shot glasses? That was a downside to IDD using windshield washer pumps. With the pumps having such a high flow rate and our nozzle being high enough for a pint glass, half of the shot would end up on the counter.

Never really thought about that issue. I could make the arm adjustable.
