Don't understand why you are making the Y ball screw plate and the brace plate separate.? This could be made as one piece and will be stiffer and easier to fit.!

Hey,

I designed it this way just to give me scope for adjustments in each degree of freedom. I couldn't think of a better way of doing it to be honest, open to suggestions though.

I could get both parts made up from mild/bright steel and once everything is lined up get the joints welded. I picked up my MIG today and dusted it off, maybe I can get good enough with some practice to get it done myself.



Also there's scope to brace between the front and side section with some triangulated pieces.



Honestly not too clear how I could make it in one piece, but I'm probably being blonde...it's been known to happen.
