Computing the delta for the Y-axis plates

Tip to tip, maker slide is, per this diagram, 43.9358mm.

The openrail distance is a little harder to find, because the image on the openbuild.net site is a raster image that's unreadable, but a PDF can be found here. The openrail adds 2.9679mm*2 to the 100mm 80/20 extrusion I'm using, for a total of 105.9358mm. This is a delta of 62mm.

The distance between the center of top and bottom holes for the deletion wheels mounted on maker slide is 64.60mm, or 20.6642mm to accommodate the wheels. The distance, center to center, for my plate will need to be 64.60mm + 62mm = 126.6mm
