Gantry Aluminium thickness guidance

Hi Nick

I used 15mm plate at either end of the long extrusions (x-axis) (see my build log photos for the bed construction). For the Z axis construction I used 20mm 5083 cast and machined toolplate. It has a very fine and accurate surface finish which is critical for the setup and accuracy of that axis.

Mike

I'm trying to CAD up another concept, but Fusion360 is down on my laptop !
