If you are using ali extrusion for your frame then you may be able to get some ideas from my build here: http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/5139-It-s-begun
.
Some caveats though - my machine is compromised by using the round supported rails. Its not useless by any means, but not as good as using profiled guides/rails and bearings (especially on the Z and Y axis). I think your rails should also be mounted differently (especially X axis).
.
Most guys on here also go for a welded steel frame, as it is cheaper, generally stronger, but of course you may not have someone who can weld it for you (I also did not at the time).
.
Oh also consider using twin X axis ballscrews (one on each side).
.
I'm sure you get tons of advice and best of luck with the build.Last edited by Washout; 19-06-2014 at 09:21 AM.
