Hardware List
This appendix provides a list of all the hardware we used in this topic. We've included the items from all
the chapters and tried to combine, for example, the three #6-32 1-1/4” screws from Chapter 12 with the
twelve #6-32 1-1/4” screws from Chapter 13 so that you'll see a total of 15 #6 screws in the list. (This is
just an example - the actual count may be higher.)
For a more up-to-date list of hardware, we're going to point you to an online spreadsheet. If we find
any errors related to the hardware (such as too few of a certain kind of washer or a missing screw of
length 1-1/4"), we'll fix it in the spreadsheet. You'll also find in the spreadsheet a list of sources for many
of the items required for your 3D printer. The spreadsheet can be found at:

If you believe you've found an error related to the list of required hardware, please post a comment
over at the topic's forum located at www.buildyourtools.com, and we'll check it out. Definitely be sure to
download the spreadsheet before you actually begin the build, as the spreadsheet will be the most up-to-
date parts list that we keep in sync with the most up-to-date set of blueprints on our website.
One last thing: you may choose to buy some hardware, such as nuts and machine screws, in larger
quantities (boxes of 100, for example) to reduce the overall price per item. In some instances, you may
discover you can substitute a part you already have for a different part used in the topic's instructions (a
1-1/2" machine screw, for example, in place of a 1-1/4"). We encourage you to make such substitutions
if you determine the change will not affect the overall functionality of the printer.
