A small system with a big bite. Design achieves a good balance between machine size vs. build area, rigidity and ease of construction all while keeping build cost as low as possible.

    I like your method of squaring up the cast corners first before installing the extrusions.:thumbsup:

    Just came across this design - nice work. This definitely strikes me as a more capable option over the Mini-mill. I'm a bit surprised we don't see more fixed-gantry designs like this. Maybe the c-beam machine is so successful people just riff on that.
    This one seems like a great candidate for an MGN15 rail upgrade, too.
