I have taken some inspiration from the gantry design in your machine. What I've done differently is:
- It is far from done and many details are still missing. One gantry side is still missing completely.
- Y-axis linear rails are side mounted to the 160x80 item profile. This allows a larger work area and the ball screws can be mounted to the same piece of aluminium plate, with a little bit of machining.
- Gantry side plate is on the inside and an 80x80 item profile is mounted on the outside of the plate. The 80x80 item profile is mounted to the X-axis 200x80 item profile with a back plate and a bottom plate.
- The X-axis ball screw and linear rails are all on the front side. With some machining on of the aluminium plates, I am able to squeeze everything in the with custom made ball screw nut brackets.
- The Z-axis is made stiffer with side plates bolted onto the same plate to which the linear rails and ball screw is bolted.
Please let me know what you think! Are there any significant improvements I could do to make it better?
- It is far from done and many details are still missing. One gantry side is still missing completely.
