The US Plastics order hasn't arrived yet, but the invoice made it.
I'm thinking about sending some of that polycarbonate to Fixittt, for a prototype (once I've got the endmill(s) ).
Res assembly is progressing. I'm trimming the window. Polycarbonate is hard! (wishing I had my Dremel with me!). BTW, the "1/4" sample is about 1/32 short of being 1/4 thick, but I expected that. It's 5.5 mm, so if Fixittt makes a prototype, it'll leave 0.5 mm as a baseplate.
A lucky coincidence: the threaded adapters don't give me a tight fit, when I screw anything into them. I thought that the teflon tape would help, but that was like wishing that paint would mask some scratches. As it turns out, the o-rings fit perfectly in the adapter, so I no longer have a potential seal problem! And of course, they only came in a pack of 25
