Lonely Raven · 22nd December 2009

Mini-update. Here is where I'm at with the Prime 29. I had some issues trying to work in a little bit of "slop" to the design so it doesn't tighten up with every row I add. So some of the fins are a little warped. I'll probably break the warped ones out and replace them, since I finally developed a way to cut these with just the right amount of slop so they press fit together, but don't tighten up. Here is how it looks now, before I ran out of material. All pieces are press fit by hand, and it's strong enough to hold it's own weight. Though MDF is still fragile.

And I got a lot of materials for building a bunch more absorbers. I need to build a cloud, and side early reflection points...plus I'm probably going to do another super-chunk in the back corner of the room.

I'm also playing around with some of this 3D wallpaper. This stuff actually diffuses noticeably, and not in a bad way at all. I just pinned it up where the OmniFusers will go whenever I get them done, just for grins. I'll leave them up till the Prime 29s are done.
