Moved motor back slightly to allow space for aluminium Z plate and ball nut holder.
Side support increased to 80mm with hole for motor drive.
Increased left rail bracket length for extra support.
Welcome to the community, you are officially the first contributor! 
Iām so happy to see this, I hope we will see a lot of modifications and improvements.
Your modification looks really good and it would definitely significantly increase the rigidity, especially in the Y-axis direction.
Cheers,
Dejan
This is great, did you machine the Z plate on the machine?
Hi Nick
No, the machine is still work in progress I have to complete electrics etc.
I am use to the Duet controller system and coding, but for this project I am going with a PiBot V4 96 pro controller and Fluidnc coding.
For the metal plate I printed a drill jig/template from Dejan original stl file checking the dimensions in Onshape and Orca slicer. I used 12mm thick plate, but this can be reduced min 8mm allowing for counter bores.
