    Hi Chrono

    Andy beat me to many bits of good advice, but I'll add:

    Whilst some of the details are missing the green plate method, provided the plates are thick enough should be a good approach, as you will be able to adjust the plates to get the ballscrews aligned properly. In fact being able to make adjustments for alignment of ballscrews and stepper/servo motor mounting should be your aim when designing the mounting points/plates (with rigidity of course :-) ).

    Your Z Axis carriage/box will likely need some side bracing of some kind to stiffen it - could be as easy as some triangular corner plates to tie the right angled joint together.

    Hope that helps.
