PROCESS
Here, we are cutting out the panels individually, using a paper template. We were sure to leave an edge around the line of the panel so we could solder the plastic together accurately.
This is how we joined the panels together using a soldering iron.
This is a photo of joining the edges of the spikes together using the soldering iron.
Using a larger soldering iron, we were unable to create neat enough seams to attach the spikes to the panels and therefore used tape also to supplement the remaining panels.

This is an attempt at using the soldering iron to create holes in the plastic for the air to travel through. Also, this would hopefully join the spikes with the panels.
