    Moved the rails on the Y axis to the top and bottom of the gantry (thanks Mocha) and I assume that was what you also meant Jazz.

    Thanks Robert - I have my eye on a set of ballscrews that are 1050mm, 550mm and 350mm currently (machined), so the frames/axis are kind of sized to match. I might rethink that though when I have the main structure layout set.

    This is all extrusion currently, but if its sufficient to cut plate then I'll make some replacements for various bits once its up and running. I'm also a bit concerned about the rigidity of the extrusion couplings (I guess I could add some structural epoxy to help with that also, as it seems to work for Lotus, Jaguar and Aston Martin to name a few ;).
