Rapman assembly part 2

More parts assembled! Here are the eight corner blocks (one attached to the stepper) and the four Z rods. On the left end of each rod is the platform attachment assembly, and on the right side are the belt-driven gears.

Annoyingly, a bunch of the parts were only lasered through about 3/4 of the way through, and so I spent ages abusing a flathead screwdriver to try and break them apart, along with a heck of a lot of filing. :(

The good news is I had help today - Doug dropped by in the afternoon and was a massive help for several hours. Thanks Doug!
