WORSHIP THE CUBE!*ahem*
It's been a couple of days since my last post, mostly filled with "Disassemble... File... Reassemble... Repeat".
It kinda got to me (Disassemble - dead! No disassemble!) and so I took a day off.
I got the Z rods and X carriage finally moving smoothly (...ish), pulled all the top corner blocks apart and reassembled them (with filing in the middle, bah) and put together the top frame. I also built the parts for the Y drive assembly, which are pictured underneath the frame.
I managed at one point to cut the tip of my left index finger with a stanley knife, and it has been stinging ever since. One day I'll learn my lesson!
Eventually Andrew (who had been around all day) left, after I said I'd wait until another day to put the top frame on - and then I insanely went ahead and did it by myself. More filing (AAAH) and a rather ill-advised bump with a fist and the vertical rods slotted in where they were supposed to go... whereupon I discovered I had incorrectly reassembled one of the corner blocks (AAAAAAAH!) Another half an hour and a partial disassembly of the block in-situ and everything was as it should be.
