ABOUT THE RIG
The Rig is mostly printed DIY helper stand for testing  electronic components in an easy and accessible way.
This stand is built mostly from printed parts with DIN 35mm rails to provide easy and accessible testing.
The rig uses heat-set inserts and M3 bolts for assembly.

PRINT GUIDELINES |
Here are print guidelines for you to follow in order to have decent success with printing parts:
| 3D PRINTING PROCESS | FDM (fused deposition modeling) |
| INFILL TYPE | Support cubic (Legs); Grid (All other parts) |
| MATERIALÂ | ASA, ASA-CF, ABS, ABS+, ABS-CF |
| INFILL PERCENTAGEÂ | 21% (Legs); 41% (All other parts) |
| LAYER HEIGHT | Recommended: 0.2mm |
| WALL COUNTÂ | Recommended: 4 |
| SOLID TOP/BOTTOM LAYERS | Recommended: 5 |
| EXTRUSION WIDTH | Forced 0.4mm |
Tips & Hints:
- Set 90° infill direction for both legs;
- Set 0° infill direction for handle inserts;
- All other parts - default 45°;Â
- You might consider using outer brim 2.5-5mm, distance 0.1mm for all accent [a] parts if printing with ASA or other filaments with tendency to warp.Â
- A wall count of 4 is an absolute must to ensure the structural integrity of the parts. There is no need to go over the top with this. 4 walls are fine for this particular build.
File naming for printed parts:
The parts use this naming convention:
- PRIMARY COLOR — These files will have nothing at the start of the filename.
- ACCENT COLOR — Files have “[a]” to the front of any STL file that is intended to be printed with accent color.
- COUNT OF PARTS — Files have “x1” to “x2” at the end of any STL file. The number represents the count of identical parts to be printed.
