● Requires a number of #4 x 3/8″ pan head screws (or 4G x 9mm sheet metallic screws)
● A Phillips head #1 screwdriver can also be wanted. Very useful (although not at all times needed) is a pastime knife, a collection of small recordsdata, and/or some sandpaper.
The half orientation as per add is right. Interconnecting half match could also be tight, relying on the plastics used, or the printer/slicer settings. Fastidiously warming feminine elements (scorching water works nicely if printing in PLA) might help with meeting, as can some cautious sanding or submitting, and even lowering/enlarging the half measurement barely throughout printing. Some extra persistence, care, half chopping and submitting/sanding is required to suit the folding legs accurately. The leg elements are small, and FDM isn’t excellent for these, however with a bit of additional effort, they do work.
