Ah sorry to hear that, but thanks for letting me know. I was considering just buying theirs. I tried to keep the gantry as low to the rail as possible. Droping the bed lower instead of raising the gantry seems like it'd be stronger.

I need to go see my engineer now I have a little more idea about what I want. Doesn't seem too difficult to make the z axis from scratch.
