    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.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    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.
