Well on your way. A few details on the charge wells to help you along.

- The minimum wall thickness was 2 mm (you may get away with less, but I know that works for repeated use.
- I just snaked the wires over the top of the well in this case. Since it was a higher-ish alt flight I wanted to ignite the powder from the top instead of the bottom.
- Tape doesn't stick very well to PETG, so be careful when taping in your charges. A notable exception to the lack of stick is the aluminized tape for HVAC stuff.

Got it! Thanks for the heads-up on the tape. Was the HVAC stuff what you used?

I use 3M foil tape that comes with a backing that gets peeled off when you want to apply it. Sticks like crazy to most things, and adequately to PETG.
 
Foil tape... AKA Speed Tape on planes. Works SUPER well. i.e. secures motors in min-diameter flights and stays on even at near-mach flights.
