- I designed this grip to assist in moving my Mini+ when it's only on my bench for doing maintenance and cleaning, as I do not need to carry it for any distance. However, with that being said, it feels super solid, as I think the weight is also distributed below the "Z Plate Bottom" and not just on the T-Nuts and 3030 rails.

PARTS
- You will need:
      - (2) screws: M5 Button Head = 12mm Length
      - (2) T-Nuts: M5 Hammer Head 3030 Series
- For Spacers:
      - (2) Additional T-Nuts 3030 Series
                  OR
      - (2) PETG Spacers (file attached for printing)

ASSEMBLY
Note: You can try and install the Grip in the traditional way of attaching the screws and                        T-Nuts to the Grip first, as I did. But unless you're a wizard/sorceress or have some                     other magical powers, I don't think it's going to happen. So...... a spacer is needed.                       No worries, it's easy.
 - Install a spacer in each of the 2 rails.
         - If using the 3030 T-Nuts, rotate them to the horizontal position. Easiest way is to                        partially thread the M5 screw on a T-Nut, rotate it, and then remove the screw.
         - If using the PETG Spacers, rotate them to the horizontal position by using a small                      screwdriver.
- Install a M5 T-Nut on top of each spacer and rotate horizontal (see photo). These are where              the M5 screws will attach. 

- Position the Grip, making sure that it sits flush to the bottom plate and rails, then insert and               tighten the screws. The screws should line up to the holes of the upper T-Nuts with no               problem.

SPECS
- Grip: .20 Quality, PETG, 20% Infill, Gyroid, 3 Perimeters, No Supports. Probably have to                       clean up a tiny bit of bridging at the bottom Z-axis screw indent. (You can see it in one               of  the photos)
- PETG Spacers: .15 Quality
- Oh, did I mention I Luv My Prusa Mini+ !!! Cheers.
