I've glued up the main hatch door - I had to re-cut the last seven 1" layers because I had glued them together before the rest of the door, and they were at the wrong angle. Plus the small fin was way too thin; and they had already broken. Pictures soon; as I continue the shaping process.

Something I learned is that the large hatch opening should have some spreader bars cut as part of the section - say every 8 or 12 inches, so the sides remain aligned and the sides are held in place during shaping, etc. I'll draft those in and redo the g-code files at some point over the winter.
