Assembling guide
================
Building the embossing "stylus"
-------------------------------
The embossing tool is made of an M3 screw, machined with a dremel like tool. the tip of the tool need to be smooth (avoid sharp tip that will tear the embossed material)
Assemble the embossing tool
---------------------------
#. Screw the brace on the electro-magnet axle.
#. Screw embossing "stylus" in the brace.
#. lock the sylus with a counter lock nut.
Preparing paper roll drive
--------------------------
We use epoxy glue to stick the sand paper on abs printed parts. Epoxy don't stick on ABS so we prepare the parts with light sanding and cyanoacrilat glue.
#. Print **x** paper roll **link to stl**.
#. sanding printed roll with sand Paper N°4 to scratch the printed surface where you want to stick sand paper.
#. "Paint" the printed parts with cyanoacrilat glue, let it dry.
#. Glue a piece of 180 sand paper on the part with bi-composant epoxy glue.
#. Let the roll dry for abu 25h depending of the epoxy glue you've used (we used standard epoxy and let the roll dry for about 24 hours)
