+## PLEASE READ THIS GUIDE BEFORE YOU START PRINTING ANYTHING
+
+There are 2 variations of this mounting assembly which will be referred to as version A and version B throughout this guide. We recommend using version A unless you are having trouble with the dovetail joints (the parts that slide tightly together).
+
+## Version A
+
+Version A consists of 4 parts:
+* holder.STL
+* 
+*  (includes 2 parts)
+
+holder.STL should be printed face down as below. Be sure to **use** support material as this will certainly fail without. This part will most likely be very difficult to remove from the bed of the printer due to its high surface area.

+
+Once everything is assembled, a square of velcro can be placed in the top of this part where the PCB rests. PCB fit is shown below.

+
+blah.stl
+
+blah.STL produces 2 usable parts but actually has 4 separate parts as far as CURA (or any other STL viewer/slicer) is concerned. They must be printed in the following orientation and **no** support material should be used.
+
+## Version B
+
+Version B consists of 3 parts:
+* holder3.STL (refer to version A)
+* arm3.STL
+* clamp.STL
+
+holder.STL should be made exactly as in version A.
+
+arm.STL should be printed in the following orientation to minimize the risk of layer delamination causing catastrauphic failure in the clamping system. Also, be sure to **use** support material or the print will be likely to fail.
+
+![arm.STL orientation](images/arm_orientation.png)
+
+clamp.STL should be printed in the following orientation for the same reasons as arm.STL. Support material is **not needed** for this print.
