I also thought about carving out a small piece with a tiny channel routed in it for the wire strap to make the wood block go straight across.  Alternatively, I could bush out the servo so it hits the plastic instead and misses the wood entirely.

The thing that confused me is that the picture of the kistka in the page on egg-bot shows the lift arm precariously close to the edge of the wood block. Mine does seem to be warped out a tiny bit (probably through usage.

I’ll give it a try.

At least I have some outside reassurance I’m not doing something wrong.

Thanks Windell, I noticed that you really stay on top of the questions on the forum. Not even Apple does that. I see postings from dozens of users on the Apple forum with nary a comment from any Apple Reps.
