The basic design is still being worked on, and is subject to major changes.
The eponymous snap joiners have gotten adjusted and tested under fire! I joined three Z platforms together and put a hefty weight on the end. They take a fair bit of pressure to get to snap into place, but I didn't need a mallet or anything. Once connected, they were solidly together, and didn't even wiggle. Given that the rail parts used for the extruder cantilever have even larger/stronger joiners, and fewer joints are needed, I no longer worry about it holding up!
The X/Y slider got it's first motorized test, and it's a success!
