Putting together my first kit, and all similar beginner tip/trick Reddit threads are dead to me 😤 So I'd love to get one going here! Any tips/tricks you have to help out??

Older instructions might not mention it, but best practice for cutting is to cut a couple millimeters away from the part to remove it from the runner, then go back and cut off the leftover nubs. This allows for cleaner cuts since you don’t have to try to fit your nippers around the inside of the runner searching for the best angle.
