Hi
Just planning ahead, about 6 mouths or so, but Is it a good idea to have the gantry rail (y axis) move up and down (on LM rails)to incrase the bed capacity or will it just introduce more play in the system?

I want the machine to be as versatile as possible but the main aim is ridigity. the 175mm on the z axis should be enough for most purposes, but you never know
