LR3 Adjustable Side Plates

Parametric side plates with variables to allow higher Z movement.  Also allows wider wheelbase, in case extreme heights might have more risk of tipping in Y-Z plane.

NOTE: This is for milling tall, lightweight materials like foam!  For tall wood or metal workpieces, it is far superior to build a drop-table and use the stock Y-Z plates, rather than extending the Z axis with this modification.  The stiffness drops dramatically with excessive height, and tall workpieces (or workpieces on tall vises) will have poor performance.

A few sizes are provided as SVG files, but the intent is that you would use the OpenSCAD model to create your own custom sizes.  Post a comment if you can't use OpenSCAD and there is a particular size that you want.
