M2 Essential Tool Kit?
Posted: Fri Jun 15, 2018 8:12 pm
I am building an enclosure, which will prevent me from using one of the Thingiverse printed tool racks that bolts directly onto the M2 to hold all the hex keys, tweezers, etc.
I am going to make a new one, but am going to add a few tools I've found useful. In the process of investigating this, I noticed that the Thingiverse tool rack has more holes than I have tools, and I'm wondering if something that came with my M2 has gone astray. I looked at the on-line manual, and it doesn't enumerate exactly what is in the factory kit. I have:
"L" hex keys: 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 3mm and 4mm
Ball end hex driver: 2.5 mm
1 pair of tweezers.
In addition, I'm going to add a pair of flush cutters to cut filament, a pair of needle nose pliers to remove supports, and 5.5 mm & 7 mm midget combination wrenches for various nuts. I also have a plastic scraper for removing stuck skirts & such:

I think a small cup for cotton swabs to clean the extruder nozzle would also be useful.
My questions are:
Am I missing something from my factory kit?
Any other tools I should consider adding to the mix?
Thanks!
