Well I got my X-Y Lite frame 400 x 600 frame today and got it put together. Minor issue in the assy using the photo instructions from his website, but I was impressed how well it was designed and it was right on the money as far as being square. It appears at first measurement I will need to make the basic 2.x frame maybe at least another 100mm longer, I will take some time tomorrow and do the actual. I want to just make the door in an L shape so I can just slide the above frame right in from the front. My rough measurement of the OD is 800 mm wide plus another 100mm for the X motor stick out and 600 mm front to back.
FYI I anyone is doing this, do yourself a big favor and get a metric tape measure. Got mine from McMaster Carr it was like $12 I think for one that measures up 5 meters. I can find the PN and post here if someone wants.
I never did find a DXF file with the dimensions of the frame but the PDF files are wonderfully detailed and dimensioned.
