Hi Clive S,

Thanks for replying. I can start my own thread but i thought this was a general thread for people asking about parts.

I know the gantry on that design is to high and i have already dismissed most of it. The guy in the video was living my dream and that's why i liked it :-).

I plan to use proper HGR25 Rails and carriages and the gantry will be much closer but I need the z axis to have about 200mm of travel.

I hope to cut wood, plastics polystyrene, sheet metal.

As I'm designing I also want to work out a shopping list and prices so i know what i can afford.

Any advice on hardware like drivers would be appreciated.
