It's coming along! I'm testing in my office with a stand-in and I'm glad I did. It let me determine a few things:

A few more pictures showcasing how I've slimmed things down. I've also taken a few millimeters off the motor mounts but I forgot to grab a photo of that. So far everything seems strong enough! Tomorrow I'll figure out how much space I've reclaimed |

After all is said and done I was able to reclaim 61mm on the H-bar and 28mm on the other axis (~2 3/8" and ~1 1/8" respectively). This is independent of extrusion length so I'll maintain those gains when I cut everything down to final size. Not the improvement I was hoping to see on the short axis, but I still think it was worth it! I can now make the gantry area a few inches smaller while retaining the same work area 🤙 As for strength, everything seems to be working since this is a low-speed machine anyway. The belt tension mounting bolts seem to keep everything aligned, but I'll update if something fails or comes loose eventually |

Hi NICE work! Can you share the stl file for the updated carrier without melting stuff in it? =) TY |

I've been working on a fairly modified version of this project and it's been a great time! An incomplete list of changes so far:
The LEDs are still in the mail but it looks like I can start making the table! I'll update here as I make progress. For now, I've attached a 5x timelapse of the table drawing a spiralized star pattern
