Cool!
that looks awesome!!
Thank you 
Very clean design, it looks great! Looking forward to a video of it in action!
I’m jelly. Nice printer
Looks nice! Suggestion though, you may find the z axis rods wobble at the top as they are unsupported. If that happens it will show up in your prints.
If it becomes a problem I see that those top two brackets could be redesigned with a hole/bearing in them to be the stabilizer for them.
Looks nice! Much like a Mende90 by @nop_head but I enjoy the simplified mounting of the Z and Y motors onto the sheet.
@Chuck_McManis Don’t constrain the Z rods at the top! This will over constrain the whole system and mean that any eccentricy or bend in the Z screws has to apply a force to the X-axis. You are better off leaving them unconstrained at the top and decoupling the leadscrew in the XY plane from the X axis.
Another very effective way of combating Z wobble on this design would be to shift the little tabs that hold the Z axis leadnuts to the top of the X-Ends rather than being at the bottom. This is a change the was made to the Mendel90 design that really helps with layer alignment, especially on early layers.
@Sanjay_Mortimer good to know Sanjay.
what is called the control board?
@Pavel_Omelchenko It’s a Smoothieboard - http://smoothieware.org/smoothieboard
thank you! I tried to understand the photo, but every time I was called to another board https://reprappro.com/shop/components/duet-pcb/
Thank you all for your comments.
@Sanjay_Mortimer good to know about the Z nuts, now this is added to the list of futur updates.
