    After using fiberglass for the first time, and having a less than perfect time of it, I was worried about bondo. However, almost all modders talk about how easy it is to use. I hoped for the best and mixed some up. It went on well enough. It was horribly uneven, but it’s supposed to sand relatively easily, so I didn’t worry. Here’s a pic of one of the speaker enclosures with unsanded bondo, and one after being bondoed and sanded.


    After sanding both spheres, I decided that I needed more bondo to fill in the valleys. I hoped that I would get a more perfect sphere the second time around. Here are the sanded balls ready for more bondo.


    I sanded the balls again. The results were nothing short of amazing. Making a sphere is hard, and these aren’t prefect yet, but I am now confidant that they are perfectable. With much work these will become two of GlaDos eyes. I’m excited, and I should be. One more month ’til completion? That’s what I’ll aim for, but it could be two.

    Thanks! It will be hard. I'll see how it looks after some paint. I haven't even sanded by hand yet.

    By "perfect" I mean: indistinguishable to the naked eye. If in the end imperfections can be felt, but not seen, I am fine with that. Also, if measured by a 3D laser scanner, I am fine if it tells me it is a horrible excuse for a sphere.

    Sorry for delays. I have a lot of updates that I just haven't posted yet. I just got married last week and I've been super busy, but since I'm moving in little over a week I will be getting these speakers to a version of "done" before then. Be prepared for some big updates and some videos, a good conclusion, and some other stuff, and then it will they'll be done for a little while. Thanks for the support. I haven't been around regularly for a month or better, and I'll be back soon. I'm super excited to finish these speakers.
