Ironically, you can see the gap due to the corners being extruded wrong in thier photos . . . for those of you whonhave read my thread on that topic . . .
The good news is that they finally got rid of the crap extruder block thatbate bearings!
And myself, having gotten my rails smooth with nothing more than ample lube and use, I'm not sure I see the wheels as anything other than a downgrade . . . and not having the linear rails bolted to the frame (9 places each) will likely reduce the overall rigidity of the frame.

I have not read your post and I may very well end up with a set of the corners, is there a link that I missed?
And the bottom corners are splitframe rigidity is all depending on a few tiny bolts,by what I can see.
Well, making a few extra holes is not that hard I suppose and plates to cover the bottom rails would also help and look good too.
Cheers!
Thanks Tim!
But not very encouraging reading

Hi.
No, I use the M3-8mm bolts. These 8mm bolts are the shortest ones.
But how many M3-8mm bolts are used up for the construction? Who can answer?
I need to know, in order to understand how many spare bolts of that type I have. Thanks. :-D
Each connector piece to extruded aluminum needs four bolts, and the bottom pieces are double tall. So you're looking at 36 for the main construction of the triangular frame.
FYI - SAVE ALL THOSE 8mm BOLTS FOR INSTALLING THE RAILS.
This was the part that got me - the directions say use the 8mm bolts for construction - but don't - use the 10mm ones and save the 8mm ones for installing the rails, otherwise you will have issues
I know this got me.

It's kind of a crap shoot. We prolly had 30 left over 8mm, and ran out of 10mm early on.

Surprising Discovery!
As I mentioned before, after mounting the aluminum extrusions of the top and bottom corner are still loose. Today, I glided them open carefully a bit, and found out to my bewilderness, that the t-nuts are firm and solidly fixed to the black plastic with their bolts. And still, the aluminum parts (on two of the three corners) are moving. HELP!
Even worse, I am still not able to move most of the bolts off again, as their hexagonal middle hole has widened through previous attempts. Do I have to accept now that I never will be able to firmly mount the aluminum parts to the black plastic? Would that be a problem? Or is it even supposed to be that way?
PS: thanks for the last postings. So I will try using the M3-10mm. IF the 8mm can be removed...

Yes, now it works!
If you want to ensure that the grip of the T-nuts to the aluminum parts is really firm, then do this:
Before using the bolts and T-nuts, use a sharp knife and lower that area of the black plastic below where the T-nuts later will be, just a little bit. See the photo. Do this for each area below a T-nut, (and that applies to the assemblies of the upper and lower corners).
Then use the bolts and T-nuts, and you will have a much firmer grip to the aluminum parts.

What is the slot size on the 2020 that Folger use? I'm thinking about getting me some sliding T-nuts.
Cheers!
The same as every other 2020 out there, Misumi 2020 Extrusion All you need to do is search for 2020 t nuts and they will come up.
Thanks!
