With the MC-505 up and running after the previous adventure with fixing its screen, I decided that it was time to tackle the wobbly knob-blies.
One of the tools/techniques that I didn't address in the video was using my vinyl cutter in order to cut out stencils of the reinforcement plate design so that I could check the dimensions against the actual system. This was a lot quicker and wasted a lot less planet-killing plastic than 3D printing out the pieces as I went.
This was made a bit more challenging than it might have otherwise been due to me using just some plain, lightweight printer paper, but I bought a brick of heavy card stock to use for the next project, which I'm sure won't take me 7-8 years to get around to using like this vinyl cutter has.
