It's not fair for me to criticize the structural integrity of the WhiteAnt design because I modified it and since I haven’t built the original design (or physically seen it in action), I have no basis to make an opinion. My modified WhiteAnt needs structural reinforcement. There is severe vibration along the x-axis and the legs of the printer during xy-axis movement.
In order to dampen this, I mounted the legs to a base made of 3/4" thick MDF.
The back plate of the printer is screwed into a box which covers the back end of
the printer (where the print bed extends along the y-axis). This adds substantial
support to x-axis rail.
