+fmp-Capsule
+===========
+
+The fmp is a simpler 3D-printable capsule for the
+[seidenstrasse](https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/wiki/Projects:Seidenstrasse) pneumatic tube system.
+
+
+How to build it
+---------------
+1. Go to a hardware store of choice
+2. Try to get some M3 screws and nuts
+	and some plastic tubing with an inner diameter of 70mm (*DN75 HT-Rohr* works fine).
+3. Fire up your 3D-Printer and print the lid, top
+	and bottom segment of the capsule.
+	20-25% Infill works fine and provides enough stability.
+4. Cut about 150mm long piece of tube.
+5. Press M3 nuts into the top and bottom cap.
+6. Drill the holes into the tube.
+7. Put everything together.
+8. Go get some Mate or something ...
+
+
