docs: item 4 — add 1.5 mm hex (MK8 drive-gear set screw)
Owner-confirmed: the MK8 drive gear is locked to the motor shaft with a set screw driven by a 1.5 mm hex. The wiki already listed three tools; this adds the missing pieces so BOM, wiki tool list, and steps agree: - BOM "Assembly Tools Required": add "Hex driver, 1.5 mm" (store link TODO — no verified 1.5 mm product URL yet). - Build Guide Step 4: was "fit the drive pulley onto the shaft" with no set-screw mention; now "fit the MK8 drive gear and secure it with its set screw (1.5 mm hex)", snug-then-fine-tune. Renamed pulley -> gear to match the BOM. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

5. **Assemble the two arms.** Each arm uses an **M3 × 15 mm button-head screw**, **one 633ZZ bearing (3 × 13 × 5 mm)**, and an **M3 square nut**. **On one of the two arms, also seat a third M3 square nut into its pocket now** — that pocket is inaccessible once the arms are mated, and the **M3 × 35 mm clamp screw** in Step 8 threads into this nut to pull the arm pair against the drive pulley. Build both arms the same way.
