I want to build a large i3 style printer out of mostly 20x20 alu v-slot rails. I've been working on building a model w/ parts to better visualize my work but I am having trouble finding a good way to attach the y-motor and belt to the y-carriage. Could some of you provide some feedback?

In the following pics I am missing some connectors, but this is the general shape it will be. If you guys have any examples or can point me toward some other manufacturer that does similar it would be cool. thanks!
Edit: for some reason preview is not working, but if you click the image links it will send you to the image.

This was the printer I was going to build before I found the Prusa i3
uses openbeam, so you may be able to use some ideas from it
