don't lock the nut firmly for the moment
press the sides and check that every corner is square, lock the 4 corners

Z-sliders

pay attention that each aluminium profile can be a little different, check that the printed part slide well on it, enventually file it
the slider holding the z-endstop will go at the rear left
put the t-nut in place first
then the aluminium profile, lock the nut
check that the z profiles are almost square to the base frame (it will be better once the top frame is in place)
