It's elemental to my final plan for this one. I also forgot to show the intermediate state on a new bed (MK2 A4 alu bed, increasing print size to 200x300x250 is the goal).

Aluminum X arm installed. One Z linear bearing clamp and the hotend carriage did not survive bolts being removed and added again -- I'll replace them in due time. The hotend carriage will get a full overhaul, so I won't waste time and material reprinting the original design.
I also added an integrated leadscrew stepper I had lying around from a project that never saw the light of day ...

This weekend I managed to work on a kinematic mount for the heated bed which is magnetically coupled to the bed carriage.
The magnet rides in a slot and the coupling is done via a magnet on the underside of the carriage
