I think your latest design, but mirrored so that the Z-axis is mounted on to the same plate as the ballnut will be strongest:
Attachment 4554
That way the spindle is closest to the Y-axis ballnut which should reduce flex parallel to the Y axis.
It should be the other way around I don't how how that happened ???
Thank you Jonathan
Oops just realized you mirrored it all ready
James
James what thickness you using on the plates for Z?
Michael
It's 3/4" - same as gantry sides.Quote:

Nah you only need 4 pins wires are joined in pairs so only 4 needed.Quote:

Which covers did you get out of interest?

It is as I feared, you bought the ones that 'will not fit the SY60 motor'. The motors you have are actually slightly bigger than Nema 23, so Nema24 ish...23 mean 2.3 inches, 34 means 3.4 inches etc...Quote:
