I have been reading through the various build logs, and comments about various designs, and it would seem to me that many of the comments about shortcommings are very similar.
Would it not be a good idea to design a basic machine incorporating the best features with the idea of encouraging more people to try their own build?
I realize that many people will say a standard design would not suit their needs, but I have read several times that the first machine is a starter and will be improved on their next project.
After a basic design concept, ie size, table top, floorstanding, materials to cut etc. I feel sure that the most experienced members could all comment on exactly what the machine should be and come up with a design better than anything else on the market--remember strike cnc!!
The machine could carry smart union flag decals(or other sponsors decals) and be built from supplied DXF? drawings.
A parts list could be supplied and some machined parts could be offered for sale by experienced site members

Yes I probably could contribute Geoff but being totally honest with you I do an awful lot of that in front and behind the scenes already. The number of people who contact me and want all the information, right down to cut material dimensions, screw lengths etc spoon feeding is getting a bit silly now.!
I don't have any problems with offering component advise or pointing out potential design flaws and recommendations so they don't take the wrong path or buy wrong stuff. Or like I do often for folks knocking up model or 2 to give an Idea or heads-up but I won't spoon feed folks full designs to the last detail and they should expect to learn the very basics at least. . . . . If they want it bad enough they'll take the time to learn if not then bugger em.! . . No time for free loaders.!!
Problem with this idea is that there's " Horse's for course's" and every body wants just one horse to ride all courses and win each race.!!
Define the parameters and backing the winner of one race gets much easier. Winning all races is completely different and more complicated set of parameters.
