Fred,
Great progress , looking good
Yes, one design fault with NexDome is they use 4 external nylon wheels to guide the shutter opening ( they should have weatherproof hoods or shrouds but it’s all $$$ )
Mines been up for 16months now and although they use UV stabilised plastic , I can envisage replacing them within a year or two.
The Dome itself is UV stabilised ABS and is guaranteed for 15 years ( still looks brand new )


Looks like your not to far off finishing it ( probably more satisfying building your own Obs from scratch)

Cheers
Martin
