the top of the base is a little rough as i cut the copper i have in half. I gave it a blast on the belt sander but it will do.

i need to lap the base and stick it all together yet but i have been at it since 12 today so thats 8 hours so far 2 hours was cutting the 10mm copper i have in half to make a nice 5mm peice for this.

i also tried to make the cups flat with a dremel cutting bit but as you can see from one of the cups it broke in the process. I think the cups are less than 1mm above the core but not 100% sure.

the tubes are just low enough to fit in the cups but only a bit.

i started with a template on the polycarb and used a needle to make the first mark and then used a punch. Screw the polycarb to the base and drill through the polycarb making a mark in the base. this mark will help to make the cups later.

will post temps as soon as i can.
