In other news, tried the blocks in action and they work perfectly.
No opening at the seams, no backlash, no wiggling.
Unfortunately, i'm not that enthused by the Acme lead screws.
Turns out they're extremely easy to bend and were a slight bit less straight than the "stock" threaded rods out of the box too.
We'll see how they behave in print, but right now, at the extremes of the Z range of motion, they whip enough to cause binding occasionally. I'll see if i can straighten them out or at least minimize the whipping to just one end.
