Assembly Instructions

• When installing your tile, place the plastic bases in the mortar between two tiles.
  • The thin circular base should extend underneath the tiles
• Once both tiles have been placed (and before the mortar has set).
  • Take the plastic cap and tighten it onto the threaded base.
  • While tightening double check that all tiles are level. Be careful not to over tighten.
• Once your mortar has dried:
  • Unscrew the cap (you can reuse these)
  • Break-off the upper portion of the base hammering the base as close the the surface of the tile as possible in the direction of the tile seam. This will break off the upper portion of the base. (The lower disk portion will stay underneath the tile)

Common Problems and Solutions

• No known issues

Break Down of Costs

(Assuming $20/kg of PLA)

1. Base :$0.10
2. Cap :$0.10

Total cost to Manufacture: $0.20

Comparable Costs

Commercially Available Tile Leveling System: ~$0.35 Savings: $0.10 (~ 66% reduction in cost) Because hundreds of these can be needed to install even a simple floor. this cost difference can quickly become significant.
