Here's my sneaky way of fitting curtains to The Shiz in such a way that the table can poke through and move in X and Y without snagging the curtains. Simply hanging a set of curtains above the table won't work very well, as the table movement is about 44cm in Y and 70cm in X. And any gaping holes, whether temporary or not will allow coolant and swarf to fly through.
A pair of vertical tubes will be anchored on the LH end of the saddle. As the saddle moves in Y and Z, the rods will stay fixed relative to it. The table can move in X through the section between the rods.
I could piss about with this and even get busy in CAD but really this is one of those jobs where you may be best just to start cutting and welding once you've got a working concept.
There are a couple of locations for mounting the bottom of these uprights. Not sure what these two M6 holes were for but they are ideal for the front upright bracket:
And I can remove a couple of these M5 screws to mount this short bracket for the rear upright:
I need to weld a piece of rod to each of these brackets so the uprights will drop down onto them. I have some black square section that will turn down to the right size:
Need to get the MIG out but this rear bracket is almost finished:
