My biggest concern is that they use screws over plastic as fasteners: https://github.com/PCrnjak/PAROL6-Desktop-robot-arm/blob/mai... Quote from the manual: > Screws are in this example M3 screws and holes are undersized to 2.7-2.8mm that means that when we screw in the screws we are tapping holes in 3D printed parts. > There are multiple benefits to this: > ● Connection is strongest compared to tapping holes with a tap or using brass inserts > ● It is simple and fast > ● No need to prepare the hole, it can be printed undersized > Cons are that you can’t disassemble it a lot of times. In case you feel screws slipping in the hole. Put some super glue in the hole and wait for it to cure. After that re tap the hole.
