I used a third of a sheet of 0.25" 6061-T6 to cut the base of the waste board. tapped the holes 5/16-18 for hold downs, and mounting MDF at a later date.

The Gantry was stiffened by cutting 3 pieces of 3/16" 6061-T6 aluminum and welding them into an I beam. I had to press the maker slide into the Gaps in the I beam.

I replaced all of the motors with 262oz NEMA 23s. This required me to counter sink the two screws near the belt window. (see Photo)
