love this build I have been thinking of doing something similar with my laser cutter after seeing all the wasted space in the electronics compartment I have contemplated what to do with it. When I am done upgrading the electronics on my CNC I plan on modifiing my k40 laser next. This project is inspirational.

Modifying the K40 laser cuter stock gantry in favor of OpenBuilds superior and smoother movement. Also will provide me a better level control for easier beam alignment.

An excellent project that just goes to show how simple these machines actually are, and with a bit of ingenuity you can correct the poor build quality and create yourself a solid and accurate machine for a very cheap price. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to build a larger work area for mine based on this excellent project.
