Where exactly is this placed onto your build boss?
Sorry I don’t understand your question.
The flush mount brackets that you used pardon me

The bracket slides into the unistrut from the end.
Michael, unless I am misunderstanding, those two statements above contradict each other. Are the cradles 1.5" or 2.25" thick? On the plus side, at least it’s not metric 
Oops, it’s around 2.25" (3 layers of 3/4 ply) keep in mind that 3/4 ply isn’t really 3/4 and varies in true width. I’ve corrected the original post.
It’s not my design but it printed ok for me. May want to check with the creator.
Okay thanks
Roger that, thanks for the update. Will plan accordingly
Hi Michael,
Thank you for sharing all this. Brilliantly executed I must say. I plan to do this table sometime in the future. Just a thought. I can’t tell whether it will work or not but it seems to me that for storage you could put the cradles length wise in the strut pieces and then set the lowrider on top of that and then just winch everything to the ceiling to keep it all safe. Just an idea. Might work.

I didn’t design it for that but you could. I have a short set of rails 12" long. I use those when storing them placing the Lr on top and placing the assembly on a pair of shelf brackets. I store the long rails separately.
Excellent. Thank you for all the great ideas. Printing the strut tensioner system now. Thank you again.
Be sure to up the infill to about 50% with 4 perimeters I’ve had 1 fail that was printed at 20% with 2 perimeters from over tightening.
Man this is slick as owl s***!! I like the design! I was about to start building a second lowrider v2 and I might actually go with your design for portability, that’s pretty genius, kudos on your awesome engineering skills! Between Ryan’s killer CNC engineering, and your incredible table engineering, I could actually see this being like the ‘Kit’ one could obtain to get started. Again, can’t say wow enough here.
Can you tell me a little more info about the rails? 3" high, completely made of ply, but what size are the spacers and how far apart did you space them? Or does that really matter? And I would assume they’re as wide as the part on the cradle that they slide into?
Also, do you notice any flex in the center of the table at all when it’s loaded down with full sheets? I was thinking of building mine maybe with a 3rd cradle for the middle (sawhorse underneath as well) just to keep things super rigid unless it doesn’t flex any on yours, then maybe not lol
Anyway, thanks for sharing this brilliant idea, this is right on time 
It doesn’t really matter I have mine about 12" apart but I adjusted slightly to even them out over the span.
There isn’t much bow at all in the long direction the unistrut is pretty rigid and the drop in table sections are basically torsion boxes. Be very careful getting the clips correct as an error there will cost you accuracy.
The important thing is that the design depends on the sawhorses being level from side to side. They can be slightly different from each other but must be a level surface themselves. I shim mine but the holes on the cradle are for an adjustment bracket that I’ll get to some day.

Hi there,
I was curious what you used for the guide rails on the side. I am working on building a similar machine and wanted to use something similar to what you have. Were you able to pick some up from a local hardware store? Idea of cost?
Thanks!

I should have been more specific in stating I was noticing the metal square tube guide rails that the Y & Z gantry rides on. That is what my question was about.
Its electrical strut and can be found at home depot in 10 foot lengths for about $25. They are located in the electrical aisle. I used the narrower 3/4" but kind of wish I had used the wider 1.5".
I may not believe in destiny but man, this might make me a believer 
I just got those exact sawhorses for christmas and have been watching some low rider videos on youtube in preparation for a a build…When it came time for a a prtable build, the EXACT thing I’m looking for comes up in the forums…
Anyways, fantastic design and thanks for sharing–I’ll post back when I’m done (hopefully soon…)
