The feet provided won’t work for me. I still am using Threaded Rods vs Aluminum Extrusion. Aluminum Extrusion only started becoming available via the MK3 and beyond, the MK2 (which is my machine) uses threaded rods for the frame.
I think we’ll need to make a new foot version for the MK2. It will take a little while, probably after the 14th.
You could always make some spacer feet for the Y-axis corners: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/45VsDOlR9mn-z-frame-corner-feet
