hey everyone
i was wondering what everyone who has built a giga meter used for the clear dome? the usual place that was recommended to me has unfortunately gone out of business due to this nasty covid... so was just wondering if anyone had any ideas or places they ordered a dome??
thanks all stay safe

I think a security camera dome is something to consider.

I’m currently working on mine and I used these for AliExpress:

The 9cm ones. The only problem is they come in a pack of 10 pairs.

It's a great idea, less weight than an acrylic dome.

i appreciate the ideas - the ali domes look good im guessing you clean it up with a dremel very carefully eh?
its always the depth of the dome that causes trouble... they seem to be very shallow and i dunno how they would look in TCs dome bracket

Yes, I used a Dremel to sand off the hangers on the dome. They won't fit on the Throwing Chicken kit, that dome is 80mm. I have that kit too but wanted to try my hand a 3D printing one.
