Big progress today: the epoxy glue finally arrived, and I picked up a budget-friendly table saw from the local hardware store. The old method did the job, but hey, a little extra comfort never hurts.
Since I can’t resist inventing little tricks to make life easier, I also designed a small jig. The jig’s mission: to taper the 40 mm bamboo tubes at their ends. It works in neat 2.5 mm steps, shaving off just enough material at a time. That way I can use both hands while working—more control, more safety.
Right now, the printer is busy cranking it out. Fingers crossed that everything fits perfectly. With a bit of luck, I’ll have something to show tomorrow! 🔧✨
