The dome isn't fixed and is being particularly troublesome, it's a large cast lump and by the time it's hot enough for the solder to flow..... the half etch skin underneath has buckled, so you don't get a nice seamless joint.
Plan B is is the order of the day, no idea what that is yet, but it is required.
There's a flanged joint plate required on each of the top feed pipes, near the safety valve bonnet; they're not supplied in the kit so another task for the 3D printer over the next few days.
