    I am still amazed by the time it takes to get things organized ;)
    So anyways here is the gantry. Bit on a heavy side - 84 kg. For sure there will be some more fasteners, dust collector, cable-chain etc adding weight. Plan is to use 2 x 2000mm ballscrews 2010 to drive it. Fixed/fixed ends. 3,1Nm steppers.
    Can I make it work?
    I dont want to go servos on first build :)

    Now my frame is looking like a toy :) Will make it 100x100mm tube instead 80x80 and beef it. Also I will ditch the bed design and try making some-kind of hybrid from marine plywood and aluminium surface for smaller parts...
    If you guys approve the design I will order screws and rails and stuff from Fred...


    Thanks for listening!
