Like you I am aiming at snappy ;)
Anyway, I wonder if you would be able to share some of the details of how you designed / constructed that area where the servos, belt drive the ballnuts and attach to the gantry ends?
Thanks again for your inspiring work!
Hi,
will take photos

Definitely go rotating nuts. Normally i run it at 8000 mm/min for wood as faster wood will chip. But for foam or 3d jobs i run it 16.000 or faster. And being snappy means no slowing in corners. Especially important if doing deep trochoidal toolpaths. Meaning a very serious difference in time. Not that a 10.000 mm min max speed machine is not enough for a normal work, but if you have an order of say 100 doors or something the difference will be like 4 or 5 more days to do the job. And talking about profiling the panels only. Not 3d job
