Instruction

1. Print the part in the same position as the STL
2. Screw few mm of the M6 screw in the biggest hole (be careful to not brake the printed thread) and insert the standoff (picture 2)
3. Play with the screw to have only 1 mm going out on top (picture 3)
4. File the standoff until the top of printed part (picture 4 and 5)
5. Remove the standoff with M3 screw (picture 6)
6. Clean up dust in the tool by removing M6 screw, this will avoid scratches on the standoff
7. Measure the standoff, it should be around 23mm length. Your measure -22mm will be the length you will need to remove in the other side of the standoff
8. Insert the standoff in the printed part with the non filled side out of the printed part
9. Repeat step 3 and 4 with the adequate
