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. + +![holder.STL orientation](images/holder_orientation.png) + +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. + +![PCB fit inside holder.STL](images/pcb_fit3.png) + +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. + +![clamp.STL orientation](images/clamp_orientation.png) diff --git a/arm.SLDPRT b/arm.SLDPRT new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b1cddd2 Binary files /dev/null and b/arm.SLDPRT differ diff --git a/arm3.STL b/arm3.STL new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ba10d0f Binary files /dev/null and b/arm3.STL differ diff --git a/holder3.SLDPRT b/holder3.SLDPRT new file mode 100644 index 0000000..566b4fb Binary files /dev/null and b/holder3.SLDPRT differ diff --git a/holder3.STL b/holder3.STL new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c0929ff Binary files /dev/null and b/holder3.STL differ diff --git a/images/arm_orientation.png b/images/arm_orientation.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..bb64d67 Binary files /dev/null and b/images/arm_orientation.png differ diff --git a/images/clamp_orientation.png b/images/clamp_orientation.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e0e776e Binary files /dev/null and b/images/clamp_orientation.png differ diff --git a/images/holder_orientation.png b/images/holder_orientation.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7eea1ab Binary files /dev/null and b/images/holder_orientation.png differ diff --git a/images/pcb_fit3.png b/images/pcb_fit3.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4c72574 Binary files /dev/null and b/images/pcb_fit3.png differ
