Slug detector assembled for the first time

The slug detector now exists as a physical object rather than a pile of parts and a plan.

Everything is put together in one housing so I can carry it outside and see how it behaves in the raised bed instead of on my bench.

Whether it actually spots anything reliably is the next question. First it had to become one piece.
