Fixed Gantry Design - Input Appreciated.

[A_Camera]

Thanks, Putting the ballscrews either side will also let me shave 10mm off the overhang. Weird Steel Z design it is then.

I definitely like the idea, even if I think it will be more difficult to make it than the conventional type. I hope you will continue to post regarding the progress because I am certainly interested in following this up. My machine is also a fixed gantry type (conventional Z design) and I am interested in every possible way of improving it.
