# Jake's Notes

 - doc
  - bom
  - hardware callout drawing (probably more useful than video)

 - nice to include a note on what those flexures are up to ... and some other design decisions 
 - kinematic mounts are three button head cap screws on 20mm grid w/ reciprocal / wherever-u-like mount ins 
 - all axis have scroll-along top plate w/ connection to motor plate, final scroll kinematic triangle 
 - all axis have scroll-along bottom beam plate w/ 20mm grid w/ last scroll kinematic triangles
