Just a few updates and things are coming together - it's starting to look like something now :)

I've installed the motor onto the X-Axis... I still need to get some couplings, and it's ready for that now.

I also attached the Y-Axis and the Z-Axis rails and linear bearings - I've got clamps holding them up for now otherwise they'd fall right off the end ;)There's also nothing really securing the Z-Axis screw yet so it's just loose in the bearing holder. Here's the pictures and one little video just showing the Y-Axis movement
