Hey Derek,

that’s really great how you solved the problem that [with 65 mm mount, the milling motor does not clear the stepper](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/does-radial-runout-change-as-the-router-heats-up/13258/9), a solution similar to the taller stepper mounting blocks shown in [this 3D-files package (see pic 2)](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4877566). It’s very nice to see you putting this basically obvious idea into practice! In this way, you benefit from a center of the milling motor that is as close as possible to the Z-rails/linear bearings. Where did you find the aluminium parts?

I notice that you also found a solution for the [known cable connector issues](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/shipping-updates/4162/655): [Hot-melt glue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot-melt_adhesive) 🙂 !
