May’s update:
Link at end.
So I’ve added some structural supports to the top panel section to take the weight off the side screws.
These are screwed in top and bottom.
And as can be seen, I went with 3D printing the Logic Housing (ABS). Square version on the right is wrong lol but the thickness was right. Once glued up I could stand on this and it took my weight.
After a few changes and reverting back to 4mm thickness, I got these:
Pre-glueing.
Added an additional support just in case:
And the top panel:
Additional work was on the sloped panels, wood working with 3D supports:
The lids are doubled up to give extra strength:
Really happy with how it’s coming together.
