Description
I'm not big on printable hardware - there's nothing wrong with it, but I've got a tonne of hardware so I might as well use it. For the main body, you will need: 14x - M4x6 heat-set inserts 8x - M4x20 bolts 6x - M4x30 bolts (you can get away with x25 if you don't use retention clips) (cap-head or button-head work - countersink doesn't) Optional: If you want to replace the peg on the shuttle-shaft, you'll need an additional M4x40-ish bolt and you'll need to use the bearing-version of the shaft - you won't actually use a bearing, but you'll need the bore for the hardware. heat-set inserts go into the “receiver” bits and the sleeves sandwich the frame - drive the bolt through the sleeve and into the receiver. Done deal. If you use the retention clips: There's also a “clip” flanged bit that you can thread onto the bolt first (widest part towards the head of the bolt bolt), slide the retention clip onto the washer, then continue as normal. The same clip can be used to receive the retention clip. for the handcrank, use two M2x12 to pin the collars onto the hand shaft, and an M3x20 to pin the hex stock into the crank arm. Bonus: If you use the variant of the Pastamatic that's for aluminum extrusion, and are willing to use 2040, I've provided a “socket” to store the spindles that can be mounted to the rails.
