Back to Top Assembly

Back to Base Assembly

Opening Options

Savage's original plans called for removing the top between the 3D printed section and the laser cut section of the top. Between the white ring in this photo and the colorful top segments.

Another fairly straightforward place to join the top and bottom would be between the lower base and the "grill", so the grill would be attached to the top.

A third option is between the Jtop and K rings, so the "window" strip is on the top and the "grill" is on the bottom.

Pros & Cons

SavageCreature's original plans call for the top cap to be removable between the 3D printed segments and the "Ring M" top of the base. Kresty managed to glue those together, making it somewhat impossible to follow that plan.

= Between Ring M and the 3D segments

  • SavageCreature's original design.
  • Reasonably nice separation of the bottom and the top, leaving room for a "bucket" in the base, such as to contain a charger for a robot.
  • A single point of removal (you don't have to disconnect a bunch of other stuff to make this work).
  • There will be a visible seem along the edge of the "top" where the ring and 3D segments fit. (The other techniques would allow you to putty this gap)
  • Needs something to keep it from being jarred loose.

Between the Grill and the Base

  • Ring M makes a great template for gluing the top segments together
  • Allows the gap to be filled between the segments.
  • Upper and
