Design Study: Rail Inline With Ball Screw

[Bravin Neff]

Would you hold to those comments if I told you the wobbly plate was 9mm thick and fully welded with the gantry?

Incidentally I have contemplated adding a triangulating plate to the inside, which would surround d the ballscrew, and so it would be the one item that isnt welded, but bolted.

You have a right angle welded joint holding a flat plate with no triangulation with your rails and ball nut mounted to it.
You can make it lighter, stronger or both, given these facts would you hold to calling this a "Design Study" ?
