| Item | Image | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tap |  | An M3 Coarse (0.5mm pitch) taper-tap used to cut the threads into some of the acrylic case holes to take the nylon screws. |
| Tap-wrench |  | An M3 compatible tap-wrench. This wrench has a ratchet but it doesn’t add much benefit over the simpler types. |
| Pliers |  | Small pliers to remove the pins from the header pin body. |
| Calipers |  | Digital or vernier calipers to accurately measure the acrylic thickness for laser cutting. I intend to design a gauge that can be laser cut from scrap material so these won’t be necessary. |
