Ease of Assembly Or Lack Thereof
I'm going through a μepRap V0.03 build, imagining that I am a reasonably confident Maker. On the way I'm documenting it and making the Bill of Materials list. So far only 4 or 5 updates to the GitHub source repo. I've got as far as the XY Stage and it's up here if you want to look - not fully illustrated as I've run out of M3 nuts.
On the way I'm trying to pre-empt ways in which makers will cock it up. I am myself an experienced cocker-upper. So I've put these on the flexures to make sure that they get installed (a) the right way round, and (b) the right way up.
If there are any things that come to light if you read the instructions, please do comment or drop me an email.
