I fount another thread "http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/8975-Linear-rail-question?p=88244#post88244", one that you have start Robert (Nr1madman), where Jazzcnc states that 160mm for Y axis height is good enough!
Time to redesign !

Hohoho you know the phrase "seek and you shall find". Well done ;)

But if I remember correctly my choice was 80x160 profile for gantry but jazz and Boyan stated that 2pcs of 80x40 is plenty enough in L formation. That gives the gantry a hight of 120mm!

I think I have seen Jazz use 90 by 45 as that is the correct spacing for 20mm rails in profile

90x45 each tube Clive? And what spacing between for the screw can we say that is ideal?

Not sure what you mean by this the two profile are fitted together to make an L so the lower one is horizontal with the other one sitting on top vertical, the BK and BF bearings for the screw will fit the slots in the profile

Thanks Clive, now I get it.

You are correct as always ;) but I think the smaller 80x40 was okay strength wise, just alot more handy with the 90x45 because of the bearings and the clever bolt on approach

Exactly, better job all round the bolt holes are perfect for the 45x90

After some sleepless nights watching some video tutorials about Fusion 360 CliveS point me, thanks Clive, I came up with this.

The questions now are:
Can I use two pieces from this aluminum extrusion for the Y axis, not complete on the photo, and screw them them at left and right on the supports?
And what extrusions can I use for the X(long) axis, to support the Hiwin rails and screws.
