Thank you! I just broke yet another end trying to tighten and square the XY.

I have not uploaded them to Git yet. Would you like to test them? Email me and I will send you the file so you can test them.

Here you go Yonder. I was going to wait till I had my Tantillus back up and running so I could print the parts and test them to make sure all is kosher, but if you (or anyone else) wants to give it a shot first the files are attached. I was also thinking of changing the LCD cover so it's mounted in between the LCD PCB and the acrylic, but haven't done it yet and don't know that I'll get to it soon.

That looks great, guys.

Sublime, I know that GeraldO is talking to you about doing some Tantillus printing for you, and he said that he was gonna try reprinting the new XY ends to test for you. I'll gladly mount them onto my machine to try them out.

Also Eric, thanks muchly for sharing your great looking design. If I can resurrect my dead hotend tonight I may try printing that next to see how it goes. Cheers!
