2026-01-04 (Su) BonfireLaserTag Emitter arrays repaired and installed

I started affixing the emitter arrays. They were already assembled and wired, but I had to repair one LED and one light ring. I still needed to insert four nuts into the sockets around the rim and fasten them into the chassis pipe. The first versions I printed had a slight error in the nut sockets, so they were extremely snug, but this time the prints were in line with the actual dimensions, so the nuts wanted to fall out while I tried to insert the array. The solution was to insert three nuts: hold two and let gravity hold the third, then insert them into the chassis. Once they were inside, they would not fall out, and I could angle everything to reach the fourth nut socket. Once all four were in place, I installed short bolts from the outside to secure everything.
