Y rails off slightly

Hey Van,

is your X/Y assembly rectangular (“squared”)?

This has been discussed here the other day. The simpliest way to check this is whether the diagonals are identical. A rectangle, i.e. which has right angles, has identical diagonals. If the diagonals differ, then it is no rectangle, but a parallelogram, i.e. your angles are not right angles, which means your machine is “not squared”.
