Need source for static mixers - pLs hÄLP

I want to get frisky with some flow chemistry, and what's flow without forcing some liquid mixtures to get even more mixed.

To this end, i need static mixers. I have scoured the internets, yet all i could find was stupid stainless steel stuff, strikingly overpriced. Also some made from fluorinated polymers, but they weren't any more affordable either.

I was able to get some static mixer inserts used for preparing alginate molding material from a friendly dentist (paid him in teeth i didn't need anymore), but i think they're made of polyamide, which limits my solvent choices.

So please, my dear fellow scientists, join me in my effort to score affordable twirly thingies! 'tis for the good of mankind, because if my efforts succeed, we might be looking at an infinitely scalable machine that can spit out interesting molecules by just pouring in starting material.

Do you mean the sort of mixer they put on 2 part resin/ glue packaging?

Yes, those are the exact ones the dentist gave me in exchange for mouth stones.
