Well.. the designs are finally out, any thoughts on how to improve the parts?

Some minor things, I've noticed just printing the first few parts:
  • The Y-Bar clamps have room for a nut trap, why not?
  • Belt clamps don't really clamp, the belt might come loose?
  • Belt clamp STL will benefit from being rotated 90 degrees to reduce jerk.

When you watch a demo of it printing there is awful amount of x wobble, however, I don't know how much it hurts the final output accuracy. It would help to secure the top rods in a triangular fashion like the Reprap.

Put it on github so people can send you improvements/amendments?
Actually, scratch that now that I see you created parts in Google sketchup. Accessible, yes; able to accept simple code changes, no.
