Before prototyping the second half of the Z-axis clamshell I was waiting for a McMaster order to arrive. Today it came and I was able to get everything to fit, primarily for a form/fit/function verification. Now that I know everything fits appropriately I'm going to finish the other half of the Z-axis clamshell. The deadline for us to order Shapeways parts for the Z/X axis drives is the 17th, but I hope to have them ordered by the 11th. 

If anyone has any feedback this far, or has any experience with Kickstarter that they are willing to share please feel free to drop us a line at Contact@Tome3D.com , we would love to hear from you!
