I planned the X-axis system. I figured out that I want to use a pancake stepper motor with belts becuase it should move faster and more accurately. I also made the bezels around the board longer so there is more room for the motors and other parts. This should help keep the middle of the board open while giving the gantry enough space to move under the board. The hardest part now is making the movment smooth while keeping the whole setup compact. Next, I want to clean up the belt path and add the right pulleys. It also took some time to find online cad for the leadscrews and the stepper motors, and choose the right size of lead screw and test in the cad.
