Fusion Furnace Build

[Imadesignerd]

Made some more progress today. Painted the underside of the detail parts, finished the filling and sanding and put down a layer of paint. Its really starting to look like something!

I measured the inside diameter of the center cylinder and used tinkercad to create a 3mm thick hollow cylinder in clear PETG and glued it in to the center. I also printed a similar ring for the top and glue that in as well. Now to just attach the lid. I am going to leave the top section seperate from the bottom to allow for the ability to work on electronics.

I have been thinking about how easy it would be to snap off the detail parts if they were just glued on so I have been brainstorming ideas on how to prevent that. I am open to any suggestions, but as of now I am thinking about drilling a hole in the center of each of the pieces and inserting a dowel. Then drilling holes into the base for the dowels to go into with CA glue.

Thoughts?

Also, I recently saw this trick used for painting small parts. Just make a loop of tape, making it double sided and tape that down to some carboard. Then just stick the parts to the tape. Much faster than hot gluing each part to the cardboard like I did on the first pass of painting.
