Just another alternative.

Giving that a go. I think I need a little more practice with Tinkercad....

Had a score though. Soupa crap had some Permatex Permapoxy 5 Minute Plastic Weld - 25mL on sale for $9... So, click and collect... Got thee, no stock. So they gave me some JB Plasticweld instead. Three times the price. So they bloody should. They're not exactly next door..

Plasicard from a hobby shop might be more economical, but doubtfully tax deductible. [bigwhistle]

Maybe. When you get them at trade prices, PVC printable cards are less than 40c each, and once you have a pile you find uses everywhere, from mixing araldite to plastic welding.

Super glue and baking powder. The is/was a howto on here. I used card as a support for the glue. The card stays in situ, the screws go through it.
