Do you already have an x-axis for this build? All I see is a gantry in the pictures.
I ask this because designing an x-axis around this system is going to be quite expensive and labor intensive. This is quite a large build.
I currently have a CAD model for a future build I want to do with the team that is R&P, easy assembly, 500ipm rapids, rigid enough for light steel work, and capable of mowing through aluminum and delrin. Parts list and price list included. For the most part there's little machine work, just cutting 8020 and getting some reinforcement plates made via waterjet. If you're interested, shoot me a PM i'll gladly send over pictures or even the assembly for your perusal. Though, i'm sure you've read through all the build logs on cnczone and know whats out there for DIY. What a great treasure-trove of information over there.
I must say though, if you go ahead and do a build around that gantry, please post up a build log because it's going to be a real impressive machine and i'd love to see it
