Hi
I am in the process of my build but just have a question about Y gantry. I have planned the machine using 120mm x 80mm Aluiminum Profiles. but due to the cost i will install them as a "upgrade" at a later stage. so i have designed MDF Parts to the same dimentions as the Aluiminum Profiles, but have a concern about the Y Beam. it will be 120mm x 80mm x 2000mm my concern is that the 2000mm span is to long and will Flex/bend to much.
Attachment 210250
i know the MDF beam is temp but would still like it to be as strong and as Flex free as possiable.
Regards Andrew
