    A half way to Robin's suggestion to reduce the overhang would be to place the Z screw outside the blocks so the risers (in red on "A") can be removed.

    This would reduce the overhang by 30mm, but widen the Y plate by 75mm to accommodate the screw. Although some weight could be saved by having a cut out as in drawing C1
    However the risers also serve to stiffen both Y & Z plates, so i'm not sure.

    I would be interested to know anyones thoughts on this (or any other part)

    Cheers

    Note: The orange X & Y plates are 10mm steel guage plate it would be easy to up them to 12 if i removed the risers, only adding 4mm to overhang
    Drawing B & C are the same just different angles.
