Sanding

Sanding is gonna be pretty important here. All of our moving parts should slide easily.

Most importantly, once assembled, our 3 pistons must slide down to the bottom of their tracks under the influence of gravity alone, or the mechanism will not function properly.

Cam Assembly

The cams must be assembled such that the middle cam is pointing the opposite direction of the outer two cams (which should be parallel).

This is not going to be too easy given that the entire assembly must be put together while inside the base. I recommend trying to line up the cams as they go onto the screw, rather than trying to do it later.
