Need advice on gantry design

[routercnc]

Looks good John. Some thoughts are:
You could centralise the end plates on the horizontal plates so they are directly above the X bearing carriages and bolt from underneath and not include the angle supports. The bolts into the X bearing carriages may just about straddle this end plate but if the bolt access holes to the bearing carriages underneath is obscured then add a second horizontal plate to bolt to the carriages and then bolt these to each other.

One end plate could be extended rearward slightly to accommodate the stepper which then belt drives to the ballscrew.

Make sure the extrusions and joined to each other to get the section benefits.

Check how you are going to drive the gantry and connect the X ballscrew nut before finalising the exact layout otherwise you might need complicated joining brackets either on the gantry ends or the bed ends where the stepper and bearing blocks are fixed.
