TGP Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) There is Rictur (the acid-washed) inspecting ^ the raw parts that have been delivered to the assembly area. The first step was to mark a point on the smaller (85mm) jar lid. Edited June 25, 2020 by TGP 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGP Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 The 85mm Lid has been rolled along the length of the wire to get the approximate length. (Off camera, the Griffin ripped the wire apart at the point marked with the Sharpie® ) Next the Sharpie® traced the outline of the 85mm Lid on the paper towel stack. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGP Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) The Fiskar® Scissors made short work of the paper towels and then moved on to the parchment paper. Inspecting the final parts: (One more parchment disk needed.) Final Assembly** Complete: (Rictur is standing on the 90mm Lid; which will function as a lid to seal in the humidity.) **The assembly order starting at the bottom is: 85mm lid paper towel paper towel paper towel paper towel parchment layer parchment layer (optional) copper wire The larger 90mm lid drops over the whole thing when not in active use.

YRBMV Other lids from other products ought to be usable. A potential ECO (Engineering Change Order) that might be coming down the pike is to add a trimmed circle of children’s craft foam to the inside of the larger lid. Theory being that something squashy up there might make a better seal. A second ECO in the works involves adding a small water well to sit on top of the parchment. It might be useful for keeping the humidity level elevated while the lid is on. Parts procurement is inwork; testing to follow. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And probably know what a T.O. and a T.C.T.O. is. You're the man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
