    Looking beefy :D

    What size slots does 50x50 extrusion use?

    Is the double gantry sides connected somehow or just there for beauty?

    The extrusion has an 8mm slot, but I will be using M6 bolts for the 25mm Hiwin rails.

    The inner extra gantry sides are basically 4x detachable right angle brackets (for front and rear of gantry) that bolt to both gantry and base. Just a little extra support. It's difficult to see because the renderer "fuses" everything as if it were a continuous flat. One way to avoid that is to put a tiny chamfer so it shows separation between pieces, but I haven't bothered with this or with covers and other finishing details.
