Remember all this DIY 3D printing began with some Meccanno (or Erector Set)
parts and a hot glue gun.

Not bad for printers that only have 0.1-0.2mm resolution. This is a long
thread and I missed where you posted the links to the files you are
using. Most of these tools were written by re-inventers of wheels and
didn't know what they didn't know yet when they started. I can take a
look at your Thingverse files here and form an opinion.
