==Before you Print==
 +
 +
Here are a few things to check before exporting your gerber files and fabricating your PCB.
 +
 +
# Verify your hole sizes.
 +
## Based on whatever needs to go in the hole, select a rivet with the proper internal diameter from the table on the [[Through Hole Press]] page.
 +
## Once you've selected the rivet size take the outer diameter of the rivet and add 0.1mm (per the table's instructions).
 +
## Check this outer diameter against the drills in stock for the Voltera, this list is below. Round up to the nearest drill size and use that for your hole size in Altium.
 +
# Verify annular ring size
 +
## Your annular rings should be at least as large as the head diameter of the rivets you plan to use, otherwise they might not make good contact.
 +
# Check that your design follows the circuit design guidelines at the link above
