Bottom Y braces (and the holes in the panels) standard in build #7

They seem to be a popular add-on.

By adding holes in the bottom panel in F360 for the brace, it sets a standard distance, laser cut or milled precisely so the extrusion is definitely straight.

That way also, additional mods such as https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3629939 can also be standardised somewhat.

I agree - even if @Project-R3D doesn't want to include the additional extrusions in the kit, it'd be great to get the holes cut so they are in a standardized location.

I am biased because I designed the part linked above, but I think the spacing it relies on is ideal and more or less the "standard" people who have done it by hand have shot for as well.

We are working with the RailCore Labs Team on our mid year update which will include these extra extrusions in the kits.

Awesome! Can we get the layout documented sooner rather than later so that people retrofitting can be compatible? Preferably based on the above-linked part if it's not yet set in stone.
