Sizes Given are Measured from Hole Centres at Extremes for Calculating Pivots, Not Lengths of Linkages. Each Link is Actually 1cm Larger than Stated Length. THE FIRST Six Sizes, Ranging from 2.5 to 8.5, do not Display Decimal Places, I Apologize, as These were not yet Printed. FIXED: 25-11-15 3/16 inch Screws Threaded Holes Very Nicely for Me, Simply Twisting Them Straight in; Alternatively, 3mm Filament is Suitable for Connections. Sizes are Shown on Relevant STL Files, Ranging from 3cm to 19.5cm in 0.5cm Increments. No Obligation to Use Exact cm's is Required - They Serve as a Reference when Mounting the Set. I have Prepared a Piece of Wood with Measured and Drilled Holes for Easy Assembly, Simply Screwing Directly into the Plastic. No Bolts are Needed, Just 3/16 inch Screws or Filament; Filament Can be Bent Around to Secure Connections or Melted Down. Objects Can be Scaled on the 'Z' Axis for Enhanced Structural Integrity.
