<p>Hi Martyn,</p>
<p></p>
<p>It wasn't a nightmare, but neither was it a breeze ;-)</p>
<p>Here's the timelapse:</p>

<p></p>
<p>3D printing made sense in our case because each node was unique.</p>
<p>In your case some kind of mould seems much more adequate.</p>

<p>I had not forgotten about the Glass/Weatherstripping, and the pain of replacing a broken pane. :) After the Dome is constructed the Glass or acrylic panes would rest on top of the Universal joint with an H shaped gasket (glass to glass) and a Universal cover screwed thought the Universal joint holding the panes in place.<br/><br/></p>
<p>Its now no longer your average backyard Playdome :)</p>

<p>you can't screw the struts with panes of glass in them!</p>
<p></p>
<p>It's a nice idea though.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I think if IKEA were going to make it they would pay for injection mould tools and use glass reinforced nylon.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I also don't think it's an IKEA kind of design :)</p>

<p>This looks great!

<p>* The cost of 3d printing all the nodes is quite expensive</p>
