<Info>
  Links in older entries may no longer be current. This changelog is preserved for historical reference. For current kit contents and hardware, see <a href="https://www.researchanddesire.com/products/pitclamp-mini">PitClamp Mini (product page)</a>.
</Info>

<Update label="v1.1" description="April 2, 2025">
  ## Improvements

  * Pivot bolt changed from M6x20 to M5x20 for a slimmer, easier-to-source fastener
  * Lower Dogbone grip slightly loosened to simplify assembly while maintaining secure clamping

  <Warning>
    If you are updating an older build, adjust your BOM and spares to use an **M5x20** pivot bolt. Mixing M6/M5 hardware between versions can cause fit issues.
  </Warning>
</Update>

<Update label="v1.1 Ring" description="November 22, 2024">
  ## New Ring Design

  Added v1.1 57AIM Ring with improved mounting features. This is now the recommended default ring for 57AIM motors and supports the Gold Motor covers.

  <Tip>
    If you currently use an earlier 57AIM ring, upgrade to the v1.1 ring to improve mounting and compatibility.

<Update label="File Restructure" description="September 8, 2024">
  ## Organization Updates

  * Refactored file structure for clearer organization
  * Updated default files to simplify the bill of materials (BOM)
</Update>

<Update label="Helper Brim" description="September 4, 2024">
  ## Print Improvements

  Added **Standard Base w/ Helper Brim** STEP file to the Files folder. This helps prevent the latch corner from lifting during printing.

  <Tip>
    Use the helper brim variant if you see corner lift or latch distortion on FDM prints.
  </Tip>
</Update>

<Update label="Ring Templates" description="September 3, 2024">
  ## Design Resources

  * Added **Ring Template** STEP files to the Ring Template folder
  * Added **Centered 42AIM Ring** to the Non-Standard Parts folder (compatible with just\_b’s motor head)
</Update>

<Update label="Cable Passthru" description="August 29, 2024">
  ## Experimental Features

  Added **57AIM Cable Passthru** Ring to the Non-Standard Parts folder for experimenting with a motor-head-mounted Reference Board.

  <Warning>
    Experimental component: verify cable clearance and strain relief before extended use.
  </Warning>
</Update>

<Update label="Print-In-Place" description="August 28, 2024">
  ## Reduced Hardware Option

  * Added **Print-In-Place PitClamp Mini** to the Experimental folder (reduces required hardware)
  * Revised **Extrusion Ring** from Normal to Experimental status pending a stronger redesign

  <Info>
    Print-in-place designs trade adjustability for fewer fasteners. Confirm fit and smooth motion before loading.
