20 mm rails minimum, forget 15 they are a pain to grease for one thing, I would never use that size again.
Gentry Y rails top and bottom keeps Z close to gantry
I use ply for the bed 2 x 18mm birch glued together and bolted down, plus spoil boards. It's strong but will flex under load if not well supported by frame cross members underneath.
The 4th axis is great but you could machine the supports in 2.5D as two halves you glue together lengthways.
I think Jonathan posted something about motor sizing, use the forum search box.Last edited by EddyCurrent; 16-10-2014 at 08:29 AM.
