Darwin Design Fault Log

Hi, if there's any design faults you've discovered on the way to building your Darwin, please log them here...

Victim Problem Status
Adrian Can't reach lower belt clamp bolts on the X carriage, unless with a rounded hex key Instructions updated
Adrian X Belt clamp label wrong above "X axis assembly" in figure Can't find it...
Adrian Notch the hypotenuse of the bed corner plates so it jigs up better Model updated
Adrian 20mm caps on tensioner corners? (More travel) Instructions & BOM updated
Chris Moulds for X & Y pulleys too small, I suggest 14mm for 16 teeth  
Chris Idler pulleys too big, should match drive pulleys  
Chris X-motor bracket is too low to meet the Y belt Can shim with a pair of y belt clamps
Chris Y & Y flags should enter opto from the side  
Chris Z flag should have a flat top  
Chris Y belt clamp has a pitch of 13mm but the holes in the x-carriage are 12mm  
Chris The slot in the opto-brackets is slighly too small for the five pin opto  

Thanks!
