Jayes Model Car Garage has some excellent 3D printed ones, fittings on both ends. Very easy to use

Paint a tube with a red Sharpie. Paint a bead with a blue Sharpie. Using the metallic Sharpies is even better, but not necessary. Slide a tube over your "hose," followed by a bead, gluing both. 

You now have an AN hose end, and can make a hundred more.

I got these through Amazon, but they are available at Michael's and Hobby Lobby.

Changed one "blue Sharpie" to "red Sharpie."

Not to detract from your post, because I'm all about the 'it's the cheap way- but looks the part' route,  but just out of curiosity, how many of you if you were judging a contest, would base their vote on whether the fittings are actually 'faceted'.. or not?

Show of hands?

Especially in a contest scenario. I am quite happy for people to employ the 'cheap & cheerful' methods, and won't knock their work unless asked for a critique, but for me personally, for my own work, this stuff matters.
