I've seen many build threads here but not too many with full design drawings downloadable.

The open build type CNC machines generally use substandard slides (Normally V wheels on extrusion) these are poor for small routers for a large router they are pointless.

Personally I designed my own router and I see nearly everyone who's building there own designed it themselves, we are always happy to critique design. I doubt anyone would build a cnc machine from someone else's plans without seeing a working router first not to diss your cad skills but just my view.
