To illustrate to density of this design, here's an XY table next to a compactly arranged stack of what's in it.

XY table vs compact stack of parts — "compact" stack is slightly more compact

(for completeness: the assembled example has none of the running gear actually "in" it, which would make it ~1.5mm taller)

Can you please post a sequence of photos showing how this thing goes together? It looks interesting, but I can't quite imagine where everything is under there, or how the leadscrews are mounted.

Are you sure? yes | no

I'm sorry it's not already here! (see next log)

I hope to get back to this soon.
