2 ways of mounting motor

[Steve-m]

Thanks M C, Point taken, I had quickly thought of that and carried on, my view was option 2 was tidyer and a better engineering option but option 1 is easier, and I have all the bits for that, but option 2 keeps every thing the same even motors will be interchangeable i.e the top mounted one I have to drill the mounting holes whereas all the others are tapped, any views on belt ratio? all others are 4:1 on a 16mm pcd on rack this one is a 3mm pitch screw.

dont know why every one seems to think my gantry is heavy its made out of 60 x 60 x 3 hollow box it only weighs 10kg plus all the goodies LOL

Thanks Lee Just found it
