    Had another idea and amazingly I found a CAD program I actually like, it's a miracle! It's not for everyone in fact it's probably some people' worst nightmare but it's right up my ally. Instead of using your mouse to click where you want something you type it out in a sort of programming language.

    This design is sort of in between a fixed and moving gantry. As a result the bed is lighter than a moving gantry design and the gantry is lighter than a fixed gantry design. What do you think?

    If your interested in this cad program you can recreate my drawing with this code
    Code:
    color("Azure") cube([900,1500,100]);//bed
    translate([38.5,0,100])color("grey") cube([22,1500,23]);//left bed rail
    translate([838.5,0,100])color("grey") cube([22,1500,23]);//right bed rail
    //
    translate([30,310,105.5])color("green") cube([40,80,34.5]);//left front Ccarrige
    translate([830,310,105.5])color("green") cube([40,80,34.5]);//right front Ccarrige
    translate([30,710,105.5])color("green") cube([40,80,34.5]);//left rear Ccarrige
    translate([830,710,105.5])color("green") cube([40,80,34.5]);//right rear Ccarrige
    //
    translate([0,300,140])color("WhiteSmoke") cube([100,100,1000]);//left front upright
    translate([800,300,140])color("WhiteSmoke") cube([100,100,1000]);//right front upright
    translate([0,700,140])color("WhiteSmoke") cube([100,100,1000]);//left rear upright
    translate([800,700,140])color("WhiteSmoke") cube([100,100,1000]);//right rear upright
    translate([0,400,140])color("WhiteSmoke") cube([100,300,100]);//bottom left front-back join
    translate([800,400,140])color("WhiteSmoke") cube([100,300,100]);//bottom right fb join
    translate([0,400,1040])color("WhiteSmoke") cube([100,300,100]);//top left fb join
    translate([800,400,1040])color("WhiteSmoke") cube([100,300,100]);//top right f join
