Quick update based last feedback collection. Many thanks to everyone contributing with their opinions!

- Raised gantry design with 200x80 item profiles. This allows for significantly lower gantry sides and will increase stiffness. It will also protect the Y-axis rails when they are further away from debris.
- 120x80 item profiles as table bracing, bolted through the 200x80 using counter bored holes. Alternatively I will use some item equivalent connectors, but I think bolting through is better in terms of rigidity.
- Motors on the outside, to allow for shorter belts and also lowering the table bracing to the bottom plane.
- End plates replaced with end caps from Item. These are only for aesthetics.



Next up will be figuring out cable routing and placement of proximity sensors. Is there any significant difference in terms of tolerances when comparing mechanical and optical sensors?
