Today I added a clamp and baseboard to the design. Relatively simple, and quite stress-free after I realize I can always come back and remodel the specific clampings. Anyway, relatively simple, so I just talk through what I am doing, and what this part will achieve. I guess the next step is to model the rotational piece that actually causes the linear movement. Right now I am thinking I can make the entire mechanism 3D printed, with very little assembly. Who knows, if this works out nicely, I can make a small Thingaverse listing.
