Once all the parts are lasercut it's time to assemble. First, lay out all the parts. I'm using a non-stick mat (slightly stained...) to keep screws/nuts from bouncing all over. Small tupperware bins help keep the itty bits organized.
I took videos most of the time. These are real-time; later I'll go back and make a condensed version, keeping only the essential steps.

| Coffee is essential to any build process. I'm doing this at 7 in the morning on a Saturday - while baby Scarlet sleeps in. |

| I didn't do much prepwork on this... some foibles included. Assembling the front and the rear, including the Y axis motor and idler mounts. | | | | | | | | | |
