Small rigid router - Design advise needed

A few more pics of progress on X.
Went with the Silyavski 8mm epoxy dams.


Thought I'd cast a T shape on my base to eventually use as reference to do initial setup of the gantry and Z. Things got out of hand as per usual and I had spare epoxy and did the whole base. Used modeling clay for the dams. VERY bad plan, don't do it. It works nicely to build the the dams but its a total bitc$%$ to remove the later.

base done

I made a little tent using a blanket and plastic sheet and stuck a little fan heater under there to get the temp up to about 50degC for proper post curing. You guys in the cold places might find that handy.


X sides painted light gray. The base is just white primer and is not going to be painted as it will be fully enclosed anyway.
X epoxy done and fully cured.
