Helping The Bracing
When jostled a lot, the corner blocks can work down the frame and alter the alignment. More annoyingly, this can cause the locknuts on the bottom of the Z driver rods to collide with the diagonal braces on the bottom face of the frame and make the Z axis jam.
To prevent this, fill the space between the diagonal brackets with hand-squidged CAPA (Polymorph) or a stack of washers. If you transport your machine a lot, consider putting CAPA filler or reprapped pieces of tube between the bottom of the lower diagonal brackets and the ground. This will stop the frame slowly slipping down the vertical supports.
