3D Printing ADM - Update
Well printing and assembling the ADM elevator has been a time consuming process. So far I have created drawings for 175 individual objects which were all printed on a 3D printer. Although the elevator is not a faithful reproduction of the prototype it is close to it. I found that trying to reproduce all of the detail was near impossible.
Trying to build something this complex has been a real learning experience, I have found a lot of ways to not do something. If I were to do it again there are features of the model I would do differently.

Styrene Siding - adhesive advice.
Group,
Currently working on a scratch build project. On one section I have the core of the building built from 1.60mm styrene, The wall sizes are 45mm H and at the longest 90mm long.
For the final product I plant to cover the wall with styrene brick pattern that is .5mm Thick.
What glue/adhesive would you suggest? I have read that the wrong glue can cause the material to warp when using it as a skin on a core structure.
