Alan wrenches
What are the sizes of the Alan keys included in the kit? -- I'd like to get an actual driver set, and want to make sure my bases are covered...

Re: Alan wrenches
Saw the instructions; only saw it said “Allan key (6x)” not the actual sizes.
Thanks for the answer.

Re: Alan wrenches
Others not used in the instructions are for the hotend. There are 2 tiny ones of different sizes for the thermistor and heater cartridge. There is also another 2.5mm with a ball joint so you can screw in the m3 nuts at an angle (helpful). That covers all 6 allen keys.
RE: Alan wrenches
I happened to see this thread about the time I received my kit, and, not being accustomed to tools being included, went out and bought a set of metric hex keys... and then discovered all the necessary tools were already in the kit!
That's OK. My kid and I are building the printer together, so it helps to have a second set of hex keys so that each of us can work on different places.
I prefer my own needle-nose pliers though. The one in my kit is asymmetric, with one thin jaw and one thick jaw. And snipping the zip ties with the supplied pliers? Forget it! You can't get the blades close enough. Use the proper tool for the job, I say. I already have a diagonal wire cutter, which is the best tool for that purpose.
