Human: A number of spool holders exist but none that fit neatly on the back utilizing the hole designated for the original spool holder can be found. Six millimeter plywood or Acrylic/Perspex and a suitable tool like a jigsaw or router are required to fabricate the necessary piece - use the PDF template as a guide. Screws, nuts etc., must also be acquired: twenty-five millimeter countersunk screws and twenty-five millimeter socket head screws are required along with sixteenth of three millimeters screws, eight nylock nuts and ten regular nuts as well as eighteen metric washers sized at three millimeters. Additionally, sixteen by one-sixth of one-inch stainless/carbon-fiber rod must be obtained in quantities of two, as well as twelve by sixteen by three millimeter electrical conduit (also available in plastic) measured thirteen to twelve in inside diameter in quantities of four to six and also the twelve by three-quarter inch by half a millimeter bearings are necessary with flanged types preferred, although plastic tube will be shorter due to these types. After fabrication of all printed parts use a three-point-three-millimeter drill to clean out holes for easy fitting of other components afterwards countersink the back plate on the plywood utilizing both the printer bolt and nut securely attach the spool holder assembly to your machine in this manner. Note that slotting in nut for cross arm might be problematic - drill a two-and-five-tenths millimeter hole as needed in side slot locations. Offset of central holes may necessitate reversing position of parts in order to utilize for spool holder on opposing sides is recommended due to its smaller dimension and more precise tolerances in particular. Components required total only a quantity one thusly list all parts specified accordingly below the part needed for construction is described with specifications clearly indicated also be sure that when constructing each part specific attention should be taken for successful fabrication as follows: Printer Specifications printer being utilized: dual print CTC resolution at twenty-five percent setting resolution, five twenty five millimeter supports rafts of ten thirty mm do not need consideration and resolution in order for desired final result infill fifteen precent with layers consisting on a two millimeter shell structure with one point three eight inch thickness applied only the first outer surface printed was using printer with bolt.
