• Drill a hole in the PMMA where the surface is plane. Fix it then on the aluminium bar using a washer to provide better support (Fig.B.9, left).
• Place the +2/3 part of the print-out on bone and fix it to the sample holder (Fig. B.9, left).
• Align the perpendicular line at C+2/3 position with blade and cut out the C+2/3 cube following the steps explained above.
– First, two transversal cuts.
– Then, two radial cuts.
– Finally, two axial cuts (Fig. B.9, right).
