Kresty working on Fusion Power Generator
#36
I also did a test fit for most of the base parts.  This is the bit that I got tripped up on when I tried to start assembling last spring.  Now everything fits pretty much perfectly!  Only one of Savage's sheets (the "grill" rings and 8 supports) were really far off, so the others are pretty close so I only had to recut the parts on that sheet.  Fortunately it was only 3 kinds of parts, so that wasn't too bad.  Unfortunately I'd spread them across several sheets so I needed different arrangements for the recut.

Note that one thing I did was tried to cut as many "rings" as I could in one part.  Then I put the supports and vanes in the middle of those rings so I wouldn't waste too much space.  (19 of the grill rings, the top grill ring, and "H1" are still split though).  That made test fitting the bottom pretty smooth:

Test fit of base

The tabs of the grill were really tight in the rounded part, I guess the kerf on those slots isn't as bad as I'd feared.
