IMPORTANT--

currently better to print with 0.2mm nozzle since it's pretty delicate. Will be redesigning soon for 0.4mm

Additional parts needed:

M2 x 25-35mm bolt (1) - can be in that range but would recommend 25mm
M2 x 15-25 bolt (1) can be in that range but would recommend 15mm
M2 nuts (2)
1.5mmx6mm metal pins (12)

You need M2 bolts 1x25mm, 1x15mm, 2 M2 nuts, and (only mentioned in the video) 6x 1.5mm x 6mm metal dowel pins. Currently it says that it is optimized for a 0.2mm nozzle. There is also some writing in the text file that appears to be about another file, speaking about elvish lettering and tea lights.

Love the design, but all of this information should be provided up front. I'm also subbed to ForgeCore and they do a great job of providing requirements in the details before the paywall.

Hey thanks for the feedback, I'll update it! It's been a learning process for me so I appreciate the patience :)

for me all of the pieces were out of proportion. all the pieces that should have fit, did not.

This is the coolest design, but there are a few things that can caused a good deal of frustration during assembly.

The documentation is very limited and the video link in the readme doesn't have audio
The tolerance to insert the M2 nuts is off. It is very hard to insert them
The 6mm dowels also don't fit the holes in the 3d print
