I've hand some early feedback that looks to relate to the print quality of the collet holder mounting block. The feedback indicated that the shank of the collet holder does not slide smoothly in the block and the depth adjuster screw has a similar problem with the roughness of the end face of the block. A resin printer might not create these issues.
Following this feedback I have done an update with a new print of the collet block with a larger through bore into which slides a flanged aluminium or steel sleeve. This appears to solve both these issues. I have posted an additional ZIP file with the new block SLA and the PDF drawing of the sleeve on the same link as above. The sleeve is a simple lathe activity and the new block is still easier to print than make from solid metal.
