Got my kit. To clarify a few things, i paid 38 dollars with shipping, it came with the plug, it came with the copper ring(you might see it under the black circle), it took about four hours to build(three hours wrapping the copper wire), and it was from Mando.
One last thing, I haven’t done the soldered bridges yet. I bought some brass colored wire to do it, and I tried using super glue to simulate solder joints, but it looked terrible and just made a mess of the thing, so I ripped all of that off and sanded it back down. I’ll update when I figure out what I want to do
This gives me hope that the second one I ordered will actually be a real arc reactor. For the soldered bridges, I was thinking of actually soldering the wires on some smooth metal and then popping them off so I can glue that to the reactor.
