Ran some more math on my triple beam "L" gantry. With a little less simplification. Generally don't see any major problem. I think it is time to add the final details to the design and then start building the thing.

Using Fusion 360 now and its static FEA solver. Not sure I will stick with this although the integration with industrial design capabilities looks pretty cool.
