This is a continuation of my progress thread, I'm just moving it to the speedway.

Apologies for the lack of updates. I've been in constant contact with our inventor's group so they know what I'm doing.

For the general public:

I've had to do a bit of backtracking due to the mold being made incorrectly. It didn't distribute pressure evenly, and the top part tended to slip during testing. I've made new parts as well as jigs for holes.

The new mold will be constructed in the garage, and then we will be on our way to greatness.
