I will say that I'm not satisfied with the stiffness of the structure. The problem is the flexing of the printed corner brackets immediately surrounding the joint location. I'm contemplating whether I should re-design the corner brackets ala Wolfstock or else add an aluminum plate reinforcement on top of the corner brackets between the bracket and the makerslide extrusions. I think a stiffening plate would distribute the bending load over the entire bracket rather than just the interface between the end of the makerslide and the bracket. My gut feeling is that this would totally fix the flexing issue.
