This is an experimental design of an alternative mount plate for the ShapeOko CNC machine.
The purpose of the redesign is to improve on a couple of issues with the original:
- The prototype design is easier to get for more people!
- The prototype design is about 1/3 as wide than the original one, thus increasing potential travel distances on the Y-axis.
- The prototype design is "lighter" that the original, requiring less power to move the gantry, and decreasing shipping costs.
The weight advantage might help in the shipping costs, especially for potential foreign customers (ME!).
