3 x 1/2" T ($3)
2' 1/2" Tubing ($2)
3 or 5 gallon bucket ($5)
Lid ($2)
Sprayers/Misters (~$2-$5)
Subermsible pump ($12 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=submersible+pump+vivosun&ref=nb_sb_noss_2)
Net Cups
Neoprene collars
Drill holes in the lid with a hole saw the size of the net cups (or slightly smaller). Attach the pumps output to one of the T's, and use the other 2 t's with some tubing to make the shape I did in the picture. Tap small holes for where the sprayers will go in the tubing and insert them.
Every single cutting I have taken has rooted easily with this and was like $50 in parts and an hour of work maybe.
Make sure to buy opaque buckets, or spray paint it so that it is opaque.

I have 0 experience with this, but have been looking as well. So all I will say is I'm sure everything suggested to you will work but I have seen no end of recommendations for Clone King when I have been searching here. A lot of growers that are well established here talk about how they did it this way or that, then tried one and aren't going back. Quite a few recommend tapid rooters as well. Once again this is not an experienced opinion just what I have gathered looking around this forum on the same subject myself.

Not saying it isn't there are a lot of people that don't want to build their own even if it saves them money. Just trying to give the guy options on something many others here have said is reliable. At 70-100 bucks it isn't a massive purchase.
I have a mother that I am about ready to take clones from and I will probably do a DIY like the suggestions here or try my hand at it.

Only differences I have seen are brand, style if it be aero or bubble, number of slots for clones, then the size of containers. I have seen some are smaller then others which means you would have to take smaller cuts. I have tried rapid rooters and I personally prefer cloner alot more simpler. Snip cut place in cloner and then your good. Compared to having to make sure it doesn't dry out or making sure you open the dome cover.

IMHO, all methods work, rapid rooter, rock wool, cup of water on the window sill, bubbler DIY bucket.
But for reliability & ease of use.
The Clone King has worked for me for bout' 10yrs now.
Tap water, plug in, 14 days, full beards

Whatever you choose
(I use an ez clone 60)
buy /build it so you have extra slots
You'll be surprised how fast a cloner can get full
Good luck

I had an air pump idk the price?
2x12" air stones £6, Stanley paint bucket £3.50, corex lid £3 pots pucks and tubing £3, I've also a spare blank lid I can cut to how many sites I want.
I get that some people just want to go out and buy one, but I do enjoy making stuff up, it's each to there own.

Yep there are good ones that you can buy but as I was trying to show it really is very very little work and a few basic cheap parts you can buy at any hardware store. To each their own, I just hate people who spend and waste money, sue me!!
