The second iteration remained largely similar to the first, with only incremental refinements in detail.
The largest alteration was offsetting the spine standoffs by half of a tie spacing to increase the track rigidity .
Additionally, the tie spacing was increased to 25mm from the previous 20mm.

Some laid out "exploded views" of how the track and supports fit together.
|
Alterations to the base of the supports and footers were made, including adding hexagonal plates with decorative bolts as well as more simple and discrete connections between the supports and footers.
The base securement was reverted to the original method of using a singular screw that goes through the footer from the bottom and threads into the underside of the column.
