I'm currently sourcing parts for my D-Bot build and found open builds v-slot extrusion extremely expensive in Germany.
So I bought Nut 6 Bosch style extrusions for less than half the price. smileys with beer

I'm planning to use MGN12 linear rails anyway, so I don't need the v-rollers.

I buy extrusions from Motedis. They are based in Germany.

It's funny that everyone thinks v slot is expensive, I havn't found a cheaper alternative in the UK yet. It's cheaper if you buy large lengths, but most v slot companies will mill to size for you at a very decent price. Square frames built in seconds with no printed parts. Can't beat it really.
