			*Shipping - 3:10 hr to pack and ship. Included taking an existing extruder. No quality control on the electronics. Included cutting 17 rods (2 extra). Up until final package taped up, ready for address label. Included dismounting a frame and printing missing belt tensioner, and scavenging corner pieces off existing frame build. Corner pieces replaced as prints finished. used 105% corners for first time, they work better. Packing list checkoff was about an hour - most was prep and rework of packing list and rework of part count for monolithic Universal Axis. Still in process of shakedown. Close to complete documentation for training and hiring, needs detailed time sheet for financial projections.

	*Set screws on Z axis mounts do not work. Ended up not using them. They bulge out the Z axis holder - plastic is too weak. Solutions - modify geometry so that set screw does not make the holder bend out. Maybe make the holder structure stiffer.		*Set screws on Z axis mounts do not work. Ended up not using them.
