Getting Back To V0.04 Bug Fixing...

I've been nailing inconsistencies in the behaviour of several Axis Drivers and noticed that the 50mm long screws I use to hold things together and brace the motor pillars are mebbe too long. When tightened, these can force the motor mount back off the motor. So V0.04 will have fixes for that in the form of holes in the plate underneath that'll let the screws over-extend a bit.

On the green part you can see the slope I've added for the limit switch to lay in. The red part is actually 1mm shorter overall, because I had one axis where the Drive Screw couldn't reach the Bearing Block at the top. I thought "If I have this problem, someone else will" so I shortened the pillars by 1mm. That's when I drove the 50mm screw into the motor through the holes in the top of those pillars, and noticed that another Axis Driver had the same problem. Fixed dat.

The Github Wiki has acquired a few updates on assembling the V0.04 parts - not finished yet though. I've assembled the 3 Axis Drivers and the XY Flexure Assembly. Just have to bolt them all into a solid lump and fit/smoke test everything. Will upload the V0.04 model changes then.
