Some updates on my DIY CNC design.
Give me a hint if I spam this group with all my images/updates…

With progress like this, you SHOULD keep posting.
I have a question: sort of a mechanical engineering/structural question. Would placing the Y slides at a higher Z location (like centered between the two x slides), make a stiffer assembly? Or is it better to have this assembly (with risers on either side), where the force applies itself closer (Z) to the material/bit?
Sounds correct, but I do not know. If the rest of the frame is stable.
of course you should post here. you give me a lot of insperation
Would something like this work/be stable? All in 20mm alu.
Have not included any screw holes yet.

Im going to get some longer 90x90 Bosh Rexroth alu profiles + Rexroth 25mm rails (1200mm), so then Im going to move the 700mm rails to the X-axis. Using the new profiles, I`m going to get a 1000x500mm work area.
Updated design soon.
