    Hi all, here is the new design and I hope I have understood all the recommendations you advised. I don't want to start a build log until I at least have a clear plan.
    This is design is based on -
    y 1200
    x 800
    but I'm going to scale it up to -
    y 1500
    x 1000

    The machine is hopefully going to be used for cutting wood/aluminum, the frame is 60x60x5mm steel, the A braces will be made of 60x4 round galv as I can get that for scrap (shown as square in the images) and the gantry 160x80 and 80x80 aluminum extrusion.
    The rails/bearings cheap 20mm hiwin copies and ball-screws from Ali express.
    The kit only comes with 300mm z rails which I'm not keen on but could be upgraded later (that's the downfall of getting a kit I suppose) I will keep looking for a better kit.
    Any suggestions welcome
