Or something better???
Looking good Dave, I presume that you mean Z axis motor not X? I'm not sure how much force the stepper will exert on the rack but I would think a long piece of angle tacked on to the back beam would be ok to mount the rack, just have to be careful that you don't distort the beam welding it but you seem to have done a good job of not distorting things so far
