Another important note: the process posted here is proscriptive, but it isn't meant to be restrictive. I.E. we only have parametric designs for linear axis here, but there are *lots* of ways to make rotation happen, and the motors provided are torque-y. There are no rules, this is just an attempt at helping you do the thing!

Hardware
- most of the plastic parts go together using the 'No.6 Plastic Thread Forming Screws' - to use these, make sure you have a clearance hole (~ 4.5mm OD) and that you pre-drill the other side with a bit in the region of 2.5mm od.
