OK... having now cut these out and starting to piece things together, I can see that they will work with modified Z-stage motor brackets (to eliminate the part of the bracket that normally has a "B" rod passing through it), but there also needs to be a slot cut below the D1 and D2 rod holes to pass the Z belt through, and a notch cut in the bottom or feet attached to leave clearance to mount the stepper controller mounting plate.
So this is a really good start, but it needs a couple of tweaks, and would work better when mated with a couple of tweaked flat parts as well as a few tweaked printed parts. Once I figure out what needs done, I will see about posting a derivative design.
I just got back from cutting out two of these on the Shopbot - holy cow are they awesome. Next step - cutting the threaded rod
I made a test one of these out of chip-board, but the Shopbot I used hadn't been fully calibrated yet, so it's 9% too small. Once the Shopbot is fully operational, I plan to go back and carve out a pair of these for a Mendel skeleton.
