TROUBLESHOOTING
If you run into the problem where you have trouble making the holes in fusion of curved surfaces use an offset plane
If you have trouble screwing the set screws into the handle try to clear out any support or excess plastic.
fyi stl files are left handed threads
If wire don't work reorient then in the wago
If the lights aren't working they probably broke. Just get a new strip
The set screws in the blade backer might not work so I recommend just gluing it
IMPROVMENTS
Next time I think we would like to try and make the prints easier so they don't fail as much. We were not able to do the sound this time so if we were to do this project again we would like to try that. We also had to forgo some parts so we would like to try to add those next time. The contacts for the lightstips we would like to change.
