Installed Ops console Made conversion plates for extruded aluminum to casters Extended z axis travel by a couple inches with steel plates. As of now in the process of installing Lead screws across the 1500mm length.

    I had used 4 bearing blocks on the z axis as you have shown on your 3d model!

    I did use the original plates in the design based on @Jacob Lotters modification. I screws both the front plates together but I think I re-drilled some holes so that they would match the threaded holes on the L shaped aluminum brackets which hold the carriages. See attached picture, it's not ideal but it might give you an idea.

    BTW I am almost done with another upgrade, a steel X gantry. With stronger 10mm plates and its ballscrew driven. Can do up to 12500mm/min. Hope to do some test cuts next week.

    Shipping charges make Mcmaster expensive to buy, I constantly face that issue. But I found some good alternatives for Mcmaster Carr. Raptor Supplies, says they offer Mcmaster Carr parts and ship worldwide.
