Some design progress has been made.

X-axis design



- L-shape gantry with 120x80 (heavy) Item profiles 1200mm long, with approximaterly 950mm travel length . The profiles for the L-shape are bolted together from the bottom. I plan to use aluminium plates as guides in the T-slots. Should these guides be fastened somehow or is it enough to insert them into the slots and shim away the clearance?
- High side gantry profiles with 120x80 (heavy) Item profiles, 160mm long. These are bolted to the bottom profile of the L-section, from the top of the bottom profile.
- 20mm aluminium gantry side plates, bolted to both the L-section and the high side gantry profiles. It is also bolted to the bottom plates, that will be mounted to the Y-axis bearing plates. The purpose of the bottom plates being separated from the Y-axis bearing plates, is to allow some adjustment later when squaring the gantry.
- 20mm HIWIN linear rails.
- 2010 ballscrew, 1150mm long.
- Delta 400W servo motor with a 2:1 reduction, to limit ballscrew RPM.



Y-axis design will continue from here!
