Exact dimensions. Every file is drawn at true size with no printing tolerance. The holes and pins that meet another part are listed below under Mating features, with the fit each joint needs; open those by your printer's or process's clearance before making the part. Mating features

- 4 in table
Notes
- One piece: a base plate with the torch stand on it, and a wall behind the engine. The 2 in spool hanger clamps the cross's lower run and its bar bolts to the wall with two M5 × 25 and nuts, so the whole engine hangs over the flame.
- A window in the wall leaves room for the jacket's fill port and the heat shield.
