These parts make up the Z-axis rail assembly and the X-axis carriage. The only change I made was to eliminate the screws for the extruder assembly. Since I am not using the WhiteAnt extruder, I'm not yet sure how I will mount my own system.
Overall, cutting and assembling these parts have been easy. I'm actually more surprised by the weight of the entire system. It weighs in at 4 lbs 2 oz. When you consider the eventual added weight of 2 NEMA 23 stepper motors, extruder and hot end, this is going to be a heavy assembly to be moving back and forth on the X-axis rail.
