    Thanks Stef, I was wondering if you had designed them around your intended use ( or safety factor ). Keep up the posts, really enjoy them!

    Yesterday i decided to upload my 3d model of the VMC to Grabcad, So maybe one day someone can get some inspiration from my build.
    It can be downloaded on https://grabcad.com/library/epoxy-gr...cal-cnc-mill-1

    Also made some new progress on the engine block build:

    You were planning on an X600 Y300 Z550 travel range, right? Must've been epic for a home build. Hope everything turned out as solid as you'd planned!
