Yes I have a bubble plate and the cone I made out of heating the acrylic and forming it with a heat gun. I used 1/8 inch that all you need seeing how with a cylider there are no stress poiint to worry about.

the only thing I would have like to do different was to finish learing how to use my CNC . Building this all by hand sucked. As far as yours go I think your design looks good. Looking forward to seeing your progress on your build.

Did your bubble plate holes come out polished from the laser? If not, how'd you get them so damn sparkly?

I have been following this thread, and I really like the ideas I have gotten. I have one really newbie question that even with all of my research I have been unable to answer; What does a bubble plate do, and why are they necessary for high performance skimmers. I noticed that all of the designs in this thread incorporate them, as well as many upper end commercial skimmers, but I do not understand what role they play. Any help?
