Just getting started after a bunch of printing (~150 hours .6 @ .3 layer height on Prusa)!
On the core -

" * Snug up these 6 bolts and make sure everything still moves freely."
These be tight where the bolt can’t wiggle around, but the bearing still rotates? Do we expect the bearing to spin like a fidget spinner or just rotate smoothly as I touch it?
If i remember right you just want to tighten them enough to set the nylock on the bolt. You can adjust them later once the core is on the X beam. You want them to spin freely
On the last picture of the core, I think the wire for the touch plate is shown backwards. I believe you want the connector on the other side going to the board
That is correct. Dupont to the board and the other end to the touch plate and ground clamp
Pretty!
Either your camera is bad or this is the most beautiful core I’ve ever seen regarding the print quality. You can’t see any lines at all. 
Been super busy but still working on it. I like that I can do this in pieces when I get time.
Built a table -
In my picture above is Y+ supposed to be moving right?
Is X+ moving towards the wall?
No, Y+ would normally move left. Y min should be far right in the pic, the Y endstops should hit the far right blocks. Power down, and reverse Y stepper wire connectors (just pull them out rotate 180 degrees, plug back in).
Yes. X min is belted side with no tube rail.
Oh, take a look how I messed up the Y belt by the idlers. That explains why my movement is messed up
Just having trouble with Y now. The tube side makes a grinding noise when I move in either direction. It seems like it walks itself off the tube.
I don’t really know what I did to fix it, but I kept adjusting the tube side with the motors off to get it more square, and played with the belt tension.
Now working on squaring it up
So far, I would say the hardest part of the build was putting the belts through the idlers the wrong way.
Got one of my struts cut last night. I used all the default settings from the Milling basics page. I changed my z step to 1.1mm Depth of cut so I can get 5.5mm in 5 passes and save time. Took ~36 minutes.
See, this is where I get impatient, I’d have gone for 2.75mm to do it in 2 passes. (With the struts, I use 3.5mm do 7mm in 2 passes.)
Yeah, it was painful holding the vacuum for 30 minutes. I’d assume it could have gone way harder, but was babying it per the instructions.
I made the finest powder MDF if you want any.
