Building the guide tube array layer-by-layer:
By building the array of guide tubes with this layer-wise method, large and consistent elongated arrays can be built. For multi-site implants, it may be easier to modify the drive body design with multiple bottom openings and use multiple smaller guide tube arrays instead of one big one.

The guide tube array is now ready to be added to the drive body
Alternative: Building the array by arranging guide tubes in a cannula
For implants that don't require elongated electrode arrays, this method can be faster to build.
