The toolsetter is available as part of the Milo kit from LDO, but may also be available separately - contact your local LDO reseller for details.

Alternatively, the toolsetter uses easily obtainable parts and you can find a full list of them below!

Return Spring

The Long John Toolsetter can be fitted with a compression spring to help the contact return. You may choose to fit this, however it isn't required. Any appropriately sized low-force compression spring should be suitable.

Printing Guide

The toolsetter part has a sacrificial floor to allow unsupported features to be printed successfully, and overhangs that will become more difficult to print with thicker layers. These floors are designed to work at a layer height of 0.2mm, so they may not be sliced correctly if your layer height is not 0.2mm.

Unless you're willing to experiment and almost certainly waste filament, stick with 0.2mm layers.

We provide a Minimum Wall Thickness for every printable part. This value is the minimum total thickness of your perimeter lines and top and bottom solid layers. The size of your nozzle and line width settings (in your slicer) contribute to this value, so the number of parameter lines needs to be calculated.

Given a 0.4mm nozzle, 100% perimeter line width, 0.2mm layers, and a minimum wall thickness of 2.4mm, you would set your slicer to generate a minimum of 6 perimeters and 12 top / bottom layers.
