Darwin Concept Improvements

If you spot any things which are particularly awkward, have any ideas on a more efficient approach, or see any wasted opportunity please list your comments here. These notes will be a very useful resource to design of the second release.

Author	Area	Note
eD	XY table	Head position off centre of the X axis means more dead space
eD	Z axis	Lots of dead space here, due to motor position. However, potential use for dead space: build material reel space.
eD	Bracket holes	Dimension the utility holes (e.g. on carriage) to fit standard belt brackets
eD/Vik	Bolts	Replace M3's with standard M5's?
eD	Motor couplings	Standardise? Y coupling most efficient
Zach/eD	Bolts	Magic (single) bolt length would be cool
Vik	Extruder board mount	It fouls V1.2 board edge connectors
Vik	Opto bracket	A bit more of a gap for the opto's legs wouldn't hurt
