Hi Emmanuel,

I'd like to build a rostock/kossel derivate based on the gliding-on-extrusion system you're using for the foldarap2.

Could you tell me what the black sliders which slide on the extrusions are ? It doesn't seem to be printed plastic.

The igus square bushings seems great too, but they are quite expensive.

Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.

These are 80/20 "linear bearing pad" [www.amazon.com]

I have bought a bunch of them to play with (if you want some), but for a vertical arrangment I wonder if only pla wouldn't be enough : [reprap.org] winking smiley
