So we've got a Shopbot PRT96 with the 4G Gecko driver upgrade. We love it. It's one generation behind their current model at about two years old now.

We're moving our shop, and will have some oppertinity to upgrade the Shopbot while it's off-line during the move. We've already got some ideas of what we'd like to do, such as creating some aluminum plates to help stiffen the Z-axis, re-doing the table itself, etc. But I'd love to hear more.

I do know that some here are rather critical of the Shopbot's design, and as such, I'd like to hear what they have to say so that we can take it into account along with some of the other ideas we've got. One thing we don't have is a ton of money, so keep the comments to ditch the Shopbot for a 'real' CNC table to yourselves. ;-)

Thanks!
