Find it here: http://bit.ly/2OVbu5Z Tips to keep in mind: - Ensure your printer is well-calibrated before starting a print. - Avoid over-tightening syringes, as this can cause glass to bend and create excessive friction inside. - Polish pistons with fine sandpaper to enable smooth movement within cylinders while maintaining sufficient pressure. - The crank angle must be precisely 90 degrees.
