CNC upgrade, need advice

[jaka37]

Hello everyone,

I have assembled and successfully run machine for my small projects for about a year,was temporaly bracket. Now it become a time where I have to upgrade as it's not fast enough.
At the moment is completely dissembled and restarting the project from the beginning, previously i have linear bearing sitting on top, but now is needs to be changed position as diferent router is going to be mounted.
Planing:

• change position steel gear
• change position linear bearing
• create space for router about 150mm

Here is some pictures attached how it looks before and my quick sketch new bracket, i think to make from 4mm steel.
Any recommendation?

Hey Jaka, did you do this upgrade yet?

I think you should swap the r&p (gear) with the linear rail, so the linear rail and bearing can take the forces before the rack (gear) see those forces, its a small change but would be a better design imo.

Not yet, i agree that you said but need sort the bracket first as this upgrade can happen after
