Well no assembly animations yet, but in my endeavors to create one I discovered that it wasn't possible to assemble the Slider Driver on to the Slider because of an interference that prevents you from inserting a bearing axle screw. The fix is almost trivial but required slightly longer shoulder screw. While I was checking the lengths that I could get I was also looking at the cost of the screws, and decided that $4-$6 per screw was not really ideal. This lead me to redesign the slider to use 5mm rods instead of the shoulder screws.
The new design uses M3 keeper screws that prevent the 5mm rods from working out of the Slider block. To allow for disassembly the keeper screw can be removed and the rods pushed out via the 3mm through holes at the end of the rail slots.

Hopefully I will now be able to make an assembly animation.
