"... I had to change out my z-motor coupler bolts too, perhaps down to M3 x 20. I find that with the current lengths, I cannot reach the maximum z-height that the machine is capable of.
And also you might want to include a note to say that “you might not want to secure the z-motors if you have wobbling issues with you x-axis” This is especially true if your threaded rods are not straight. I am at the moment, still trying to rectify that on my build.
And also, you might want to include a warning against tightening the bar clamps too tight. I over-tightened mine and the plastic showed white marks on it. I had one which even cracked but is still doing well. hehe. Maybe we can include some sort of a guide (range of values of something) to the compression on the bar clamps?
