+All files are available in `3d_files/`. The parts can be printed in PLA but I prefer to use PETG. 
 
-## To Print
+All the parts are printed on an Ender 3. I usually have to sand down the edges due to stringing etc.
+According to your printer's over/under extrusion you might have to sand down edges, or add silicon tape to the bolt heads so they key into the bodies.
+I personally prefer to use a brim.

 Make sure every pulley and axis rotates smoothly. If there is friction anywhere you might have to loosen the bolts or sand down interference from your prints.

-I would recommend building this onto a breadboard so you are comfortable with the pieces before final soldering.
