Do those white pieces in the left bottom belong anywhere on the build? The answer is below.
Working with extrusion rails can be both blessing and a curse.
It becomes a curse once you have to have a lot of t-nuts that hold some kind of cover and holes must align.
And it sucks when you have to fish out these t-nuts from somewhere where they have just slid. It double sucks if they become pressed against something and won't budge back if you shake the frame in question.
It does require some force to push these down the grove, but that is mostly because my printer has no concept of proper calibration - it's a tool, not a hobby.
Another minor thing was to make these little rail-frame-guide things that temporarily go over the frame while it is assembled - to allow angle fasteners to be mounted and, well, fastened.
But after that, panels come on just flawlessly, without me needing to fish out t-nuts that roll around and hide from me each time I have to run another wire somewhere.
