    Ok just looked closely at the machine and suggest you forget the idea.?? I reckon the 3040 will use the same bed profile has this machine so should apply.!

    The profile doesn't have any hollow section only the slots (see pic) so the only way to do it would be to remove the bed and fill the underside slots with Epoxy/sand etc and to me the slight bennifit offerd in strength and resonance dampening wouldn't justify the cost or the hassle.!
    Plus when you have cut into the bed a few times (Which will happen) you won't be able to turn over and use other side of extrusion.!!

    Edit: Ignore the threaded rod thru the extrusion that won't be there on your machine.!
