linear motion guide rail
November 04, 2014 03:03AM
Hallo,
I would like to create a system corexy using linear guides!
I have seen on several sites and it is a very expensive!
I was wondering if someone could tell me some links where Ican buy more economic
But even in Europe!
I enclose a picture of the system, I've cut plates with waterjet

The design you show in your picture is NOT CoreXY, it is H-bot.

Anyway, would you be interested in a Dutch company? I have heard there are students at TU Delft (Delft Technical University) that have set up a business that laser cut for good prices.

I have bought my parts at RobotDIGG and must say I've heard mostly positive experiences with that company. Including my own. Cheap, Chinese, but well made parts. Thinking of ordering there again to get myself a second set of Ramps, smooth rods etc. Want to ditch my Sanguinololu on my old printer.

I think Inventables will ship to Europe. They were cheaper than all but one supplier I could find in Australia, even after paying +50% of the extrusion price in shipping.

Ignoring that that's not corexy, your plate doesn't seem to have any free space for mounting it on the larger box frame.

You can make your own linear rail using the parts at Robocutters.co.uk. I've just finished a 1.5m x 2m CNC router using their parts and they are great.

He sells wheels, rail, plates, pretty much everything you need to make your own rail - and it is modular and extensible - if you change your mind later, you can repurpose the wheels and plates to some other device.
