My goal is to build as much of the CNC on my own as possible, but some pieces I needed to outsource.
The wood panels were outsourced for time. Measuring/cutting/drilling all of those holes would have taken quite a long time, and was prone to error. Instead I chose to purchase ready-made parts from the Root CNC store:
Front and rear X-carriage Z plate (pre-installed rivet nuts)

I also needed to outsource the X-Axis Box Section Mount, as my Lulzbot Mini just didn't have a the required surface area to print the part. Since this part is load bearing, I was also a bit hesitant about attempting to split the part into smaller sections. I purchased the parts through:

and was very happy with the results.
