    Heads up to Nick..Wrong dimensions in Imperial Model A plans???

    I am building the Model A Imperial unit 18"x18"x7"

    Below are the discrepancies I have found.

    Okay, I want to make the following:
    Gantry Plate 2 pcs.
    For the 18"x18"x7"


    In the A5.pdf file length = 19" (for the 12"x12"x5")(CORRECT?)

    In the Size-Selection.pdf file length =18" (left side of pdf drawing for 12"x12"x5")(WRONG?)

    Also, in the Size-Selection.pdf file length =20" (right side of pdf drawing for 18"x18"x7")(WRONG?) This drawing also states to add 2" to the original 12"x12"x5" plan height.

    So, is the height for the 18"x18"x7" unit = 20" or 21"????

    Looking at other dimensions I have deduced that it should be 21" in total.

    Am I right or am I wrong?

    Yes, I took a look at the size-selection drawing, the dimensions 18 and 20 should be removed, you are correct, if you want to increase your Z from 5 to 7 Add 2" to the basic gantry height for a total of 21"

    Good, I thought maybe being new to this forum, I might have missed something.
    I brought the dxf files into Autocad and converted them to be correct for the 18"x18"x7". If you want a copy of them for your plans, just let me know.

    Thanks for the fast response.
