I modified the orange ring design adding abrim/cutout to the parts for a bigger glueing surface. The parts are only 4mm thinck and the joint wasn't strong enough.

Snapped together before glueing:

The ring parts look great and are very strong. I will also run them through a acetone vapour bath to make them stronger and of course glue them togeher.
