    I have two different Y axis arrangements which I'd be grateful for some input on please. I originally designed my machine with top mounted linear rails but then thought I would give side mounted rails a try in order to lower the gantry by about an inch. The trade-off is that my bed will have to shrink by about 80mm from side to side as I've already got the gantry profiles (I know, design first, shop later - I've now got this tattooed on my forearms!).

    Any opinions about the pros and cons of either would be much appreciated.
