    Recently finished mine.
    No struts needed. Since the image I'm using 8 wire steppers wired in parallel (slightly better inductance values).
    Nema34's all round created too much resonance and turns out you don't need that much of a motor on all axis.
    Z Nema34 1090oz/in.
    X&Y Nema23 566oz/in.
    All running on 60V power supplies, DQ0860MA stepper drivers.
    5mm pitch DFU1605 screws, drivers at 2000 per rev and Mach3 at 400 rev per unit.

    Furthest I've gone so far with rapids are 2000mm/min Z and 2500mm/min X&Y with acceleration at 500. I don't need any more than that tbf.

    If I'm honest the Z stepper driver could do with more than 60V to it to get more velocity. It doesn't go much more than 2000mm and remains freezing cold even set at max current. Voltage means velocity, current refers to torque.
    The 23's came alive on 60V.
