Elite Foreman Wall Mount Development

OnefinityCNC voids warranty on wall mounted Elite Machines

I am trying to design a wall mounted system that would improve space in my small single car garage.(This would only be for storage) The feat is there. I love CAD work but this is outside of my wheel house. I will for sure take all the responsibility if this fails. I also am making this topic to document my trials and failures. I am not a wood worker by trade so I will be trying to design parts for CAM out of aluminum and possibly steel and will be using machines at my disposal from work. (waterjet-haas vf6/vf4-FDM printers) The use of these external machines may be “cheating” to those hobbyist.

The brains of the operation seems to be a giant power supply from 1F and outfitted by MASSO controller and closed loop steppers. Unsure of what warranty I would be taking advantage of in the event I do something catastrophic.

If anyone is interested in bouncing ideas or just curious of the journey feel free to leave your input.

The closed loop steppers do not work vertically, therefore no closed loop machines can be used vertically. (Also if that masso falls off the front, it’s a costly $1350 replacement!)

Any Original or Pro machine that is smaller than a Foreman (4x4) can be used vertically!

I will not use vertically. Just for stowage. I will redesign the touch screen placement. Thank you for your wisdom!

The table height will sit just shy oh 30". Optimizing components will happen when the setup configuration is finalized. In the current design the vertical rails attached to the wall structure are based around the 50mm rail design. I’ve second thought on this idea just because there is no need for a “precision” rail only because it needs to be a method of stowage. On the boss extrusion pieces that connect to the machine will have an “end-cap” design to allow me the option to un-mount from the wall when I get around to designed a mobile configuration for work outside or otherwise.
Counterweights have been a question but I will most likely cross that bridge when I get this mounted on the wall.
Because this will mostly be made out of metal I have dabbled with the thought of maybe adding rubber pads on mating surfaces to absorb some of the vibration.
There is clearance of 7/8" from the wall to the rail. Which I plan on redoing my garage and putting 3/4" OSB in my 350 sq.ft garage.
Coming soon I will post the staging area of where this modification will take place in my garage and I think I will try to stick to a deadline of NOV 2024 to have the parts finalized and concept concrete.

The current machine configuration is what i plan on sticking with. I want the ability to slide 4x8 sheets in with little to no problem. In the event I need to tile a project I wouldn’t have to sacrifice the throughput of the machine.

More development on the Wall system. I’ve gotten the table 90% complete. I will be finalizing the table during the the last stages. I will now be switching over to the blocky objects to save on weight but also keeping in mind the machinability of the components. I had some slight issues with the designing of the table. This took me 3 tries to get proper fitment.
