The Z axis is the most complex step so far. The hardest part has to be the Z motor mount plate. Screws going in from both sides, thin nylon spacers stacked between the two plates, and a flange bearing in the middle. This thing was kind of evil to assemble.

Very cool design! Neat way to constrain a commercially available flange bearing. Are the plates laser cut steel like the carriages?
