[title] Optional tools
-[* 10] This step list the ***optional*** tools that can be helpful during assembly. They are not mandatory.
+[* 10] This step and the next one list the ***optional*** tools that can be helpful during assembly. You can build the Bear frame perfectly without them.
[* 2] A long caliper of 200mm or more helps to align the Y axis smooth rods spacing on any "Prusa type" printers.
[* 3] A general purpose clamp will facilitate the squaring of the frame with a machinist square.
[* 4] Tweezers are always useful :)
[* 5] You can add a dab of blue Loctite #243 to the screws during assembly to prevent them from unscrewing.
[* 7] 8mm drill bit or 8mm reamer can be useful in case the smooth rods holes on Z axis are a bit too tight.
-[* 6] A torque tool can be useful to ensure you don't damage anything.
- [* 10] We recommend max 4.5Nm for the metal to metal assemblies (e.g. joining plate on an extrusion) and max 1.5-2Nm for printed parts.
