This print does not work right out of the box. It requires a few additional parts and some post-print work:

1. You will need to drill out the 5 screw holes with a 7/64 bit, and add a 45 degree countersink with a countersink bit in order for the screws to sit flush. I found that drilling and countersinking the holes after the fact worked better than adding a countersink to the print.

2. You will need to source 3 or 4 10mm M2.5 screws. The stock motor gear screws are too short, and anything longer than  about 12mm will poke through the gear mount and drag on the body of the motor. I used these from McMaster Carr: https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/127/3292

3. You will need to install a ¼ 20" brass heatset threaded insert. These can be sourced from McMaster Carr as well and installed with a soldering iron. There will also be some cleanup required where some excess melted material from the hot insert gets pushed out the bottom into the area that sits on the gear mount.

You will also need some additional hardware to mount your rangefinder to the pan bracket. I used a modified SmallRig Monitor Swivel/Tilt Mount and a Kondor Blue Cinelock.
