Starting to design out my build, looking for critique

[Washout]

• What would be the best way to mount the Rail Bearings? The green elements in my Model are just placeholders, since I struggle to find a good way to mount them.

Hi Chrono

Andy beat me to many bits of good advice, but I'll add:

Whilst some of the details are missing the green plate method, provided the plates are thick enough should be a good approach, as you will be able to adjust the plates to get the ballscrews aligned properly. In fact being able to make adjustments for alignment of ballscrews and stepper/servo motor mounting should be your aim when designing the mounting points/plates (with rigidity of course :-) ).

Your Z Axis carriage/box will likely need some side bracing of some kind to stiffen it - could be as easy as some triangular corner plates to tie the right angled joint together.

Hope that helps.
