In this evolved version of Akiyuki’s Archimedes Screw, there are no more glasses, just a long yellow tube that rotates around a central axis in a DNA strand-style. This GBC module can carry massive number of balls in one raw.

I don’t find the length of the ribbed hoses listed anywhere. I tried a 13L and they seem short. Tried a 16L flexible axle, they seem long. Changed out the pins when I tried that. Only longer hose in Yellow is 14, but I’d like to be sure.
I’ve never built this module, so it’s hard for me to give you a precise answer.
I would however say that you should not hesitate to order used 16L corrugated pipes and to cut them to the size that fits exactly your needs.
