    Looks good, but you are not showing any draft on the vertical walls, which should be a minimum of 3 degrees, unless you have designed a complex pattern with individually removable pieces.
    If cast as a loose pattern you need draft.
    Think how are you going to remove the pattern that hollows out your rail supports on the bottom side with the two X's there?
    Also, what size work envelope?
