Opinions on this router design

No there isn't one sorry.!

That's a shame. Do you have an album containing all the photo's which you'd like to share? I am particularly interested in how you have attached the BK/BF blocks to the extrusion as I thought the hole spacing was 6mm out?

haha, I started designing my router the other week and noticed this as well... I went through a ton of build logs and everyone seems to do it but not exactly sure how. Do people typically just drill/tap the extrusion? I was considering moving to the WBK bearing style and mounting in the side plates when I noticed this.

The way to do this is to buy 45mm extrusion. Then you are 1mm out of perfect alignment but it will fit :)

Well that makes a lot more sense, thanks! I still might go with the WBK bearings as I might be able to fit the ballscrew under 20mm rails without having to space them... not sure if its possible yet, it will be very tight.
