Today was going to be the day. The last shipment of parts arrived yesterday, so I was finally ready to assemble the TagTuner this morning. I'd spent a year or more procrastinating, several weeks beating my head against failed 3D prints, and another week sanding and staining the lid. I was honestly a little giddy when I tucked into bed last night.

And I got it almost all assembled, all the components into the 3D-printed case. All I had to do was put the lid, so carefully post-processed, on and fasten it.

It broke.

Three of the lid's four legs snapped off in the housings they were supposed to sit in. Superglue couldn't save them.

So it's back to the printer. And then the garage. And maybe by the end of the week I'll have a lid that will actually fit without breaking.
