2. Combine S1 Units into S2: Combine 2 S1 units and 5 blue tubes (A) to form an S2 unit. At each black circle connection point, use one 30mm bolt (F) with the threaded end facing the dome's interior, one M8 locknut (K), one M8 spring washer (J), and two M8 washers (L). Repeat to build 2 total S2 units.

At each black circle connection point, use one 30mm bolt (F) with the threaded end facing the interior, two M8 washers (L), one M8 spring washer (J), and one M8 locknut (K). At each yellow circle connection point, temporarily secure the blue tube and green tube with one 50mm bolt (H), one M8 washer (L), and one M8 nut (I). Tighten the nut 2-3 turns only at this stage.
