Well this update has the first physical aspect to the build I took the measurements from my maya model and put them on to cardboard to get a better idea of it's size and check my measurements add up.

but now I found my first setback I can only afford to get 20mm and 10mm HPDE sheets, but the design needs 50mm and 30mm sheets to make the wedge and mount for the wedge. well seeing as the wedge is mean't to be removable anyway I'll just focus on the main section for now.
