This shows the wiggled laser cut lines on the front edge of the "O" pieces.
On the lower right, notice the arcs of the laser cuts on the "R" disks aren't perfectly in line. I'll have to round out the circles.
I stacked "like" circle disks on the supplied dowel and gang sanded the sides with a block.
On the left is the before - on the right is after sanding and shaping.
Here's a three ring stack (no glue yet) being rounded and evened up with 400 grit on a block.
The edges of the cardstock pieces will look better after painting if they are sealed.
Apply a narrow bead of wood glue around the edges. Smooth out the glue bead with the side of a fingertip. Try to keep the glue off the flat face, just on the edge.
On the right is the same ring after the glue dried.
Sand the glue bead smooth with 400 grit.
These are all the "Y" pieces.
Oh boy - More edges to seal!
There are 18 Y pieces. They are small and easy to loose. Keep them in a zip-lock bag until they are needed.
You can apply a sandable wood glue bead to the sides that you will see (facing out) on the finished model. On the left, a glue bead has been applied to the exposed edges only. Keep glue off the flat side surfaces. Sand smooth after the glue dries.
