Insert up to 3 pen springs into the provided sockets in the base
Mount the dial:
Position the dial on the front of the scale
Glue the pointer securely to the pinion gear
Install rack gear:
Slide the rack gear onto its guide pin so it meshes properly with the pinion gear

Finally, attach the weighing plate on top
Note: The resistance of the scale depends on the number and type of pen springs used, as well as the tolerances of your 3D printer.
