Thanks Erik. I'll take some more pictures and update the posting. I wanted to get it posted quickly because I'm interested in having collaborators in rapidly developing the technology for printing in nylon for our e-NABLE volunteer fabricators. We are hoping to use fabric dye on the nylon parts to match skin tones of the recipients. A couple of requests for the YouMagine submission process: (1) I would like to be able to use lists (bulleted or numbered) in my instructions. (2) It is not clear to me how to provide attribution and links to the predecessor design(s) that I remixed to create my designs (so I just add a sentence in the description). It would be nice if there were an "attributions" field where I could just insert hotlinks to the predecessor designs. (3) Sometimes URLs show up as hotlinks and sometimes they have to be copied and pasted into the browser. (4) I suppose one way to include more user friendly instructions would be to include a PDF file in the Document section of YouMagine. We are making progress a desiccator system to enclose the filament spool while it is mounted on the UM2. That will have a lot of fabrication and little use of printed parts, so enhanced options for assembly instructions is a very good thing.

Hi Skip, nice contribution making the UM more compatible with various spools. And great how you publish things with such clear textual and especially graphical illustrations! We've made a feature especially with "assemblies" in mind (and specifically e-Nable as probably the best use case). This assemby is a good example of how you can show what the assembled, printed product would look like: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/pigrrl-zero-raspberry-pi-gameboy I think it would make a lot of sense for most of your designs to use this feature, however we'd love to have your feedback. We will be improving on the feature regardless, but your feedback could move it forward more quickly and allows us to focus on what's most important.
