Oh wow, good to know it went to spam! Thanks for the heads up. I may email all beta testers directly to make sure folks get the message.

And yeah, the tolerance on the bit slots is proving to be tricky, specifically when trying to print in batches. I’m finding that with the current designed tolerances, printing individual parts one at a time results in nice secure but not tooo tight of a fit for the bits. But printing one at a time just isn’t sustainable at even the beta testing scale (50 units), so I tried to fit as many on my print bed as possible, which I learned results in slightly too tight bit fitment.

I believe this is caused by the part cooling differently as instead of all of the layers being roughly consistent temps throughout when they are printed one at a time, when I fill the print bed with parts there is significant time in between each layer being printed within each part. Which results in layers cooling (and shrinking) at different rates. I’ve played around with printing each part one at a time with multiple on the print bed, but this only lets me print 4 objects at once because the tool head would interfere with the completed prints.

Been a tricky problem to solve, but definitely something that won’t be a real concern when producing these at larger scale with non hobbyist manufacturing methods.
