Just use some pipe cleaning wire to tie everything together, then glue and resin them together. You'll need 4 spacers each with 20% infill or less. I made mine with 20% infill and 1.2 mm top and bottom shell thickness. I'm adding extra inserts and platforms once I get the rest of the head done. The Tan color on some parts is Plastic Wood Filler, available at any home improvement store. It's perfect for filling in cracks and imperfections in any print job. Once it dries, it sands easily. Happy Printing! 8-12-2017: I've just finished building and printing a 381 mm Lazy Suzy ring for the Dalek Head. This allows you to mount and spin the head with a 3/4 inch 3 inch long threaded rod. You'll need 113 bearings, depending on your 3D printer settings. You might have to sand some bearings down. I've added a video of it working. I've also added upper and lower platforms for the Dalek Head and Neck. Just glue them in place and resin them. Both Head and Neck Platforms were made with 5% infill and 1 mm top and bottom and side shell. Print them, then fiberglass and resin them for extra strength. The neck platform has some sections removed so you can easily access the HEAD battery. I'll replace the head battery with two laptop batteries soldered together when I get that far.
