The epoxy standoffs work great and the bar graph and bezel are successfully in. I got a super fine gold paint marker and painted the rivet and contacts, then carefully used a very small amount of superglue to affix the lens onto the bezel.
Below are some pictures before the clear lens is applied
Here are some pictures once the lens is on. I also took the opportunity to replace the zip ties with the genuine pantsuit zip ties.
With that, the thrower portion of the build is pretty much complete! I’m really happy with how it has turned out, it certainly has a good deal of heft. I am hoping to get my welded parts in soon to be able to tie the pack together into a presentable state.
