OK so I saw a few mods showing how to make your pocket hopper have a flip top lid. I wanted one so I made one.
I took an old pod I had that had the rubber top pod lid. I put the top of the pod in boiling water for about 30 seconds to loosen the glue. I took it out and peeled off the top. I took the top and slid it over the opening of the pocket hopper to test for fit and it was perfect. I mixed up a little epoxy and glued it in place. Works great.

Next up are some 50 round pods. Using the same method as above I took off the tops of the pods. I put 50 paintballs in the pod and marked the level with a permanent marker. I cut the pod at the mark and cleaned up the edge with a razor and some sand paper. I put the top of the pod back in the hot water for a few seconds and pushed the pod lids back on. Also came out great.
