Assembly guide and bill of materials for the reinforced standard base variant of the PitClamp Mini
Printing
Use these standard PitClamp Mini print settings for all components.
Print settings
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Walls | 6 |
| Infill type | Cross Hatch or Gyroid |
| Infill percentage | 10% |
| Supports | Normal (Snug) with 3° threshold angle |
| Support placement | Allow supports on part |
| Seam | Nearest (or your preference) |
Recommended filament: PLA+ for optimal strength and durability.
All parts must print in the default file orientation. Printing Base components in other orientations causes structural weakness that may lead to failure under load.
Print-in-place option
If your printer is well calibrated and your material has optimal layer adhesion, you can use the print-in-place Upper+Handle variant. Find this in the /Non-Standard folder.
