Recommendations

Please note that a Torx T3 screwdriver is necessary for assembly; a Torx T4 may also work depending on the manufacturer. For best results, consider purchasing a set that includes both sizes to avoid stripping screws. Get our recommended T4 screwdriver here.

To enhance your experience, download our starter file in .step format via our Discord. This file can be imported into any 3D modeling software, providing you with precise profiles and hole locations of the Base Plate. If you’re new to 3D modeling, we suggest exploring Fusion 360, which offers free personal use and plenty of online tutorials.

For optimal designs, we recommend using at least six screws in your projects, with corner screws being essential. These screws are designed for use with plastic (including most 3D printing materials) or wood, but not suitable for metal. Ensure holes are ⌀1.30mm with a lead-in of ⌀1.60mm for best results.
