    Hey peeps,

    I want to sandwich 2 xl gantry plates on each side of the c channel but I don't know which spacers and poly lengths to order.

    Has anyone done this that can give me the parts I need to join the plates?

    If you're referring to the standard X or Y gantry stack, there is a 9mm spacer between the wheels and a 6mm spacer each side outboard of the wheels. There is also generally a 1mm spacer each end of the stack, up against the plates.

    If that's not what you're referring to, we're gonna need a sketch to understand what you're asking.

    Poly?

    So for each set of wheels the spacers I'll need are:

    1mm |6mm |wheel |9mm |wheel |6mm |1mm

    Sorry, I got the 1mm washers backwards. They should be between the 6mm shims and the wheels as shown.

    The bolts are 65mm and you need a Slot Washer - 15x5x2mm - OpenBuilds Part Store on the back side under the nut.
