Why 7075 plates? And why only 1/8"?

Also, you may want to run some lewis bending numbers on those 24dp gears... you may have already, but at first glance it looks iffy. Depends entirely on the material, though.

Otherwise looks good!

Edit: Also, you said you used 20 DP on the initial reduction off the CIMs, and jump down to 24 on the other stages? That is counter intuitive to me, as you are gearing it down each stage you move away from the motor, putting more torque through the teeth of those gears.
