    Some years ago I bought a big ox kit. I like it and have made lots of things with it. The plates that support the x rails and a stepper motor measure 9" high and 7" wide. (not sure of their proper name). I need to increase the height by another 2". Does open build do custom work or is there a universal plate that will meet my needs?

    Thanks for any suggestions

    This is the Ebay Store that has provided many Ox builders with taller plates. These are 11 inches tall. He could probably do Custom ones for you. Or you can just modify the existing sketchup drawings your self and cut your own with your existing CNC machine.

    The dxf file containing the plates is in the "Builds" section of the OpenBuilds website for the Ox here:
