its simple really, these are the tools that you will need
tools:
1. saw (hack saw, scroll saw, band saw, dremel, etc)
2. squaring tool (30, 60, 90 triangle, etc)
3. file, sand paper, etc
4. IPS Weld-On #4 (super glue, 2 part epoxy, etc)
5. measuring tool (ruler, caliper, etc)
6. clamps (vice, spring clamps, c-clamps, etc)
7. some wood for clamping
8. obviously some plexi (i used 2 piece of .125" plexi and glue it together)
what i did was measure the distance i wanted to cut with my calipers, marked it, squared it, set it up on a miter block and cut it straight.
lapped the end that i cut flat and clean with 150 grit sand paper and deburred the ends with a knife (backwards technic)
then i measured the end of the opening that i cut and marked it down on the plexi, squared it up and sanded it smooth.
then i made a small jig from some wood and just glued it together and clamped it down
easyprobably missed some steps but you get the point
i know! i got a bunch of pictures that i need to fix up then ill post!

) but could you go in more detail about how you did this? I would love to try this and make a micro micro res, but have no idea what tools/glue/skills would be needed.
