Take your time on these. If you start having trouble you may wish to slow your print speed down just a bit. Also, for build plate adhesion you may wish to enlarge your brim.

Spar reinforcing:
Note that there is a groove on the top and bottom of all of the spar components. Once the spar is completely assembled, the spar is to be wrapped around this groove with either kevlar thread if available, or as an alternative we have found that upholstery thread found at any fabric store is more than adequate. There is room on the spar to make several wraps of this thread adding considerable tensile strength to the spar. You will want to pull the thread just tight enough, but not so tight that you warp the spar. Once taught, embed the thread in a layer of CA glue.
