Hardware


I printed my copy out of ABS and vapor-smoothed it to post process it. I don’t see any reason that it wouldn’t work in PLA, but you might need to sand the edge hooks to get smooth motion.

I tend to under-size my threaded holes so you might need a drill bit to widen them slightly.

These are the screw sets I used from Amazon:
