Thanks!
These are 312 stainless filler, that's why they are so colourful. At least more colourful than a not stainless filler like er70s-6/2 etc. I do most of it with 1mm filler, then areas with lots of fill, i.e between st/dt or the underside of the ht-dt joint, ill do with 1.6mm filler. I find this helpful for areas like that, where im more likely to need it. and otherwise would be stuffing in a lot of 1mm filler.At the moment i dont have a very specific sequence, but i do all the "tops" first. So I do as many parts that i can that are perpendicular to the central plane of the frame.
I find this fixes everything in place a bit, so that when you then start to weld the sides, it doesn't pull as much. However i do try to weld quite a bit in the jig as well because obviously the first welds pull it around as well.

Thanks a lot for your answer!
regarding Filler: My first trys have been with the same filler. I'm having a hard time utilizing 1.6mm since it`s so thick (Hard to handle for me in the already tight-spaces) Prob. just takes practice... I've ordered 1.2mm. rod to see if I can handle it better. (Shouldn't be a too much noticeable diff. tho...)My first trys have been doing the sides first to affect the geo-relevant angles the least than first the angles which need less heat. --> should add less distortion...
That's what I've been doing. However I doubt that method because pretty much everyone seems to do the central plane first...

Those welds are beautiful! May I ask what filler / -dia. you're using?
Also I´d be super interested in the sequence of welding a frame. if U`re willing to share
