I was working on an idea/design for a new build plate support for my CoreXY and wanted some feedback, thoughts or suggestions?. My intent is to bend the support structure from aluminum 5m / 3/16 or thicker. I'm not sure if I can get an accurate bend on thicker material heck I'm not sure if I can get an accurate bend on thinner material...

I think this is a picture of the CubeX?

I was thinking a little beefier.. this is from E3D's new concept and Thomas Sanladerer's interview. That plate is thick but lacks a 3 point design...

The only way to avoid it is to go with a setup similar to yours where the rails face each other on the Z axis.
