This is exactly why we say do the research and check out other build threads so you get a feel for what's involved and can make this decision before spending money. It's also why we say DONT BUY ANYTHING until you have a clear plan and understand what your buying.!

The sad thing is - i will lose probably half of what is has cost me to date.

I have purchased the power supply, motors, extrusion, rails & screws kits and enough nuts, bolts and fittings to make 3 probably.

Oh well!!

Also, with the learning of all the different elements, i will be an old man before i master it and i am already becoming an old man!
No, you are bloody not.!! . .. Told you NOT ON MY WATCH.
Give me a few hours as I'm currently laying it out in CAD to find a workaround and I'll have you sorted out so can still use the parts you have already bought.
We are cutting parts next week and I will shoehorn you some plates into the schedule somehow.

Regards learning CAD or CAM etc, it's just part of the process and when you dive in it's not that difficult (but it's not as simple as loading a picture and cut like you are thinking) however it's not rocket science.

Edit:

Forget the frame for now until we have a solution, Get on with the electrics, make the motors spin on the bench etc, it will cheer you up a bit and motivate again..
