should be able to show it before today goes up
- April 30th
Think that was a lie. Past week has been confusing.
All of the parts are now here, but some parts are ... gone.

The main parts, corner and bridge, had pockets for screw head so that various lengths of M5 screws can be used to bolt onto 2020 extrusion and not cause a shortage of a certain length.
I was stupid enough not to differentiate between button and cap screws. (Rather, designing to fit cap screws was a mistake in itself - for M5 screws, button head seems vastly more common.)
In the process, I decided to have a go at PETG since I am finally making something structural this time. It was a mistake.

What to do if printer underextrudes like crazy and skip steps when you're printing as slow as possible? uh... not buy PETG ever again

The combination of my unstable hotend, which I am afraid is going to burn if I push beyond 240 degrees, and MK7-bowden setup of barely enough grip became the ideal punishment of my complacency in 3D printing.
So for now, printing it is... not laser cutting :(
