Gentlemen,

Another configuration for your consideration - I think is what you guys were on about getting the gantry sides "shorter" by putting the Y axis on top of the x axis bearings. I guess the trade off will be the Z axis being longer below the y axis rails?

Will probably move the x axis nema and ballscrew outside of the gantry "legs" so if needed I can support the beams the x axis supported rails are sitting on.
