Assembly instructions call for Cap Head Bolts but holes are countersunk #1

Looking at building one of these for my club and noticed, as the title says, that the "Cylinder Left Side" has countersunk holes for Cap Head Bolts. A parallel sided hole would be better for them.

If you're using the taper only to aid printing then you could place a two-layer thick membrane to close the top of the parallel sided hole (0.24mm thick would do for 0.2mm and thinner printing layers) which would be bridged over. This can then be cut-out at assembly time with an appropriate drill.

I know this is additional work but it's not really a beginner's project to build one of these.

There have been many of these printed and they work great. He has given the cad files in with the printable files so anyone can edit it how they like. I have modified some parts on it for my use. This was not an easy project for him to do I am sure. I for one am thankful he spent the time and effort to make it I am sure it took weeks to work out all the bugs. Then for him to offer it up free for use any way you like and add the cad files was awesome. Thanks you so much.
