Shawn & Lara need a Toolbox... Droid?
#10
I'll digress a bit... The axle rods are proving really annoying.  The 10mm axles didn't fit into the 10mm bearings (which are apparently about 10.05 and 9.95 mm respectively).  So I had to sand the rods.  And thread them.

Which eventually worked:

After hand sanding one end, I did the next by sticking the rod in a drill.  Much faster.

I also printed a couple discs for a guide to cut the steel rod, which worked really well:

Putting them just far enough apart for the saw blade.

Normally they were together.  But I spread it apart to take a pix (and because this one's getting loose.  I'll have to print another if I want more).

But the resulting edge was cleaner than I could've ever done without my silly disc things.
