I made a cloner today. Really simple to do.
40 litre plastic box with lid. Drilled some holes for the nets to sit in. Instead of throwing away the plastic discs I cut out, I decided to cut out another smaller hole in them so that those collars can fit inside them. They fit inside nice and snug. This will allow me to clone without having to use any medium. I'll also drill a little hole in the collars so the stems don't get pinched I will start some seeds in a propagator using peat pellets (Don't like using rw) and once rooted, cut the thin netting from around the roots, rinse in distilled water and then transfer them to the box I just made today.
Doing it this way, means I don't need to use those clay pellets. The collar holds fine and will be easy to transfer into the DWC buckets seeing as though the nets I use for the young 'uns will be the same I plan to use throughout the whole grow.
I'll use a 6w air pump with 4 outlets and use 4 air stones.
The clear lid is obviously from an old propagator I don't use anymore and fits great but would only be used for seedlings as the lid would be too low for clones to go in there.
The holes that the air tubing slots into were already there. I'll probably glue some 1/2" PVC piping to the sides so the air tubing can run right down to the bottom and it wont get messed up with any of the roots when it comes to transfer.

or is that just the tubing I'm mistaken it for
