almost done. just need to print some more spacers for assembly (to get the space between drawers right)

lessons learned:
- there's soo many fasteners. and almost every time I ordered some, I forgot something else
- 3030 b-type and 4040 i-type have the same slot width but sometimes you get hammer nuts which are incompatible with the 3030
- don't just get the very cheapest slides from ebay. the second cheapest are much much better
- check for interference if you're mounting wheels under it, I can only fit the small ones because the lowest slide is higher than 30mm and interferes with the larger wheels.

@cmb "Get the second cheapest option, not the cheapest option" is good advice for a shocking amount of things, to be honest.

My hypothesis is that the second cheapest option is cost-optimized with corners only cut in the places where it's okay to do so, and the cheapest option cuts *every* possible corner including the ones you shouldn't.
