Hello to everyone! I start now this new thread to tell my experience in construction of a Maslow CNC machine for my FabLab. This is one of the first tools of the FabLab. I’m the founder of **Arroscia FabLab** that I’m just starting in Liguria, north region of Italy. The choice for the frame type is a mix from [Default Frame](https://github.com/MaslowCNC/Mechanics/wiki/Choose-A-Frame-Design#the-default-frame) and [Bar’s bolt together design](https://github.com/MaslowCNC/Mechanics/wiki/Choose-A-Frame-Design#bars-bolt-together-design). Just to do some advertising 😉, here are all the references to the FabLab: - on [GitHub](https://github.com/ArrosciaFabLab) - on [Dozuki](https://arrosciafablab.dozuki.com/) - on [Trimble 3D Warehouse](https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/collection/d2b85364-d8c8-4320-ba27-e4b2cbbf4f69/Arroscia-FabLab) ---

Hallo to Italy 👋 Send some picture of the Maslow please 🙂 If this is the setup, I see a lot potential for unwanted flexing of the top beam were the motors go. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/2X/8/89d206b36bd6fb5d955475d5b73caa7e35a213b9.png) ---

Ciao Gero, have patience, I start with the first post and you’ll see that for the top beam I used two 3 m glued boards. Just a bit of patience to put everything in a correct chronology. ---
