The screw axis is also wobbling in mine, predominantly on the right side, I figure that if the z rods do not wobble, the affect is minimized. Since the z axis screw coupling has two screws, pushing the screw to one side, I do not see a solution for that wobble.
I have also designed a cover for the electronic board and caps for the end of some of the aluminum frames. Still do not have a good solution for a guide on the wiring going to the y axis. Currently using a rubber band to keep slack out of y axis wiring.
What is your design software of choice, I have tried sketchup and 123d. My choice between the two is 123d. Both are free.

I have been "PLAYING" with my HicTop metal Alum printer for about 6 weeks now. I have noted a major problem in the Z axis rod capture on the Z axis motor plates. They wobble badly, I reported the problem to HicTop and designed a solution. I added a thin plate to the outside of the Z axis motor plates, this stabilizes the lower Z rods. I kept the plate thin as to still used the original screws. My attached design is attached.
Happy Printing.
