So I did some simulations (I have Fusion360) and for a 100Kg down force in the middle of the bed (in the first configuration, with the carriages at the edge of the bed) I get only a 5 micron...
Yes, good point on that. I changed the two steel tubes from 80x80x5 to 140x80x5 so this gives me around 60mm on each side to move the rails inwards. So now I have around 120-260-120 mm between the...

awerby: I don't think that I will easily find those ground steel tubes in my area, but your advice made me rethink my design. I have a supplier of heavy duty steel tubes in walking distance from my...
Yes, you are absolutely right, I don't know what I was thinking. 5-10 Microns accuracy .. I wanted to rival a 300k machine :)
