Sweet chiller bro.

Just want to chime in on the making your own LN2 question.

There have been some retail attempts at home LN2 making setups.

Problems:
1) They make it too slow to be very useful for our purposes. 1L/day doesn't cut the mustard when you consider that the stuff is evaporating while you're trying to make and save it.
2) Still expensive.
3) The energy costs of running it all day to make your 1L of LN2 cost more than buying 1 L of LN2.

Same problem with getting a big CO2 cylinder and making your own DICE. Still much cheaper to just buy the DICE.
