Great blog and pictures! A have problems fitting the nuts (called "M5 Nut Full BZP" in the "Z Sub-Assemblies" from BitsFromBytes) that hold the X-axis motor. Even tried "M5 Nut Half BZP", with similar result. On your picture of the complete X-axis assembly, the X-axis motor seems to tilt due to the same problem as I have. The acryl plate is bending also. Is this okay? Any comments or suggestions anyone? Regards Kim Kortermand
Yes, I have the same problem. I used a file to remove just enough material from the corners to get the nuts in, but the tension in the plates does make it bend a little. You might be able to add some washers between the two top plates to shift it up a little and reduce bending.
