First Build 5 x 12 Steel Frame CNC router

[Boyan Silyavski]

Very ambitious for a first build.

Some thoughts:

-the gantry legs dont seem adequate for the rest of the parts you will use on your machine

-the A may work for foam but i dont see it serious for anything more than wood

-the stepper motors , ok- the huge stepper motors, what drives will power them? 230VAC?

-that bracing may be was totally unnecessary. I dont see how that will strengthen anything. It could even make things worse, strengthening one point too much and not allowing the forces to spread uniformly and creating pressure points. So later all rings.


What will you be using this machine for? Remember- the weakest point is the criteria for how strong your machine would be. Again-the gantry legs.


PS:
That gantry legs will greatly benefit from bolting or welding on them 10mm steel plates in both directions, 2 per leg in total
