@Joar107, looks good! I might need the same.......
Only suggestion is the slots in the X arm for the extruder feeds. We are all using the centre slot, BUT if you try using the slot nearest the vertical arm the feed does not fit, you cannot perform the rotate of the feeder to fit the slot due to the bearing mount on the z axis.

I will move it the slot out a couple of mm that will help, actually I am using the inner slot to have less stress on the x-axis. It might be better to set a second "x" axis that doesn't move then it could be possible to ad 5 without putting any weight on Z.Quote

Also the slots are too close when you have 3 extruders (my rough test) to allow insertion and removal except in sequence from the Z axis end.
Easy cure is not to have the lip on the slots (mine are gradually breaking off!) to allow vertical insertion, or space out the slots!
What software did you use to produce your designs?

I have the same problem with the MDF bed sagging substantially in both back corners. I am planning to remake it in 3mm alu plate in a trapezoidal shape, leaving out the front corners, but your design looks nicer and might be lighter.

I have made some changes to the bed, now it is only 1 laser part, 5 mm thick and the width of the ribs is 6mm. As Erik suggested I have printed the tab for the end stop. Let me know what you think I am eager to get this in production

Maybe thicken the part where the holes are so total material area in cross section is uniform at section through holes and add some material at joints ( radiused in) ?

I have printed the design I had in my last post seems good, will not be able to try it until I have made the laser cutted bed....Quote

if you can help .... Imagine a bullet that has to start .... release the load on the two bearings?
the most we can be fast more things we can do even more precisely

No twisting x-axis = no variating in nozzle hight, glass again flat (the bulged glass illusion), bed stable as it should be, 3 point bed spring adjustment - well done, bravo!

Bulging glass is not entirely an illusion. If it were, then you would get the same amount of "bulging" at all y-axis positions. I get more at Y=100 than I do at Y=0 or Y=190.
