    I'd extend the frame a little so the gantry can move out the way completely so you can remove the work piece then it's irrelevant which way the gantry is. If you mount the hiwin's and ballscrew on the sides you can enclose them enough that when you access the piece it's not an issue.

    Go for 1.6m gantry NOT 3m simple any other choice is just nuts.
