  • NUMERICAL CALIPER OR ANALOGIC but with at least a tenth millimeter accurate

  • SOLDERING IRON (and solder)

  • METAL SAW

  • SET OF METAL FILES

  • ELECTRIC DRILL
  • AND a SET OF METAL DRILLS (D 2 to 10)

Its for Heatbed carriage aluminium angles, though it's not a mandatory because there will be screwed, but in my view it's not enough and it's better to secure permanently angles at right angle (90 °). Having a perfect parallelepiped heatbed carriage with accurates right angles is crucial to have a good slide and a straight heatbed.

  • Of course a Plier, and a good Phillips screwdriver  that should correspond as closely as possible to printer screws size (there only on type in all the printer)
