Step 13: Gantry Y-Axis Rail Support

Finally, the completion of the y-axis with the installation of the y-axis rail support. Now the y and z assemblies can be whole with the gantry. Also, the gantry will gain much better support with this attachment enabling a tight assembly around the x-axis rail support (cutting surface).

Quick Steps:

  1. Cut the y-axis rail support piece to the proper length to provide torque to the x-axis bearings.
  2. Connect the y-axis rail support to the sides with careful attention to level for the cutting surface, and height for the z-axis travel and router.
