Makerslide Aluminium Extrusions

Hi Guys!

I just discovered the Makerslide Aluminium Extrusion system, and I want to get some...but they're always out of stock =(

www.makerslide.com

Luckily my Uncle has a friend who does aluminium extrusion, and they're willing to make some for me...but it will be rather expensive without a little bit of volume.

So is anyone else interested in getting some Makerslide? My Uncle says they can CNC machine the V-Bearings, laser-cut mounting carriages and the triangular braces as well.

With Makerslide, you can make anything from linear actuators for CNC machines, to a slide-rail for a camera or video system, to an aluminium reprap, etc =)

I will be ensuring they follow the specifications from the open source community.

If you're interested, just drop me a post with the length that you need. If we can make up enough length, the order should get cheaper for all of us!

Perhaps 10metres or so, I will setup a website for people to make pre-orders, if there's enough interest on this forum. And post updates on their progress, a little like kick-starter.

Thank you!

This could be nice! Any idea of the final price?

BTW, where do you live? Would you ship to France?

hi fma,

I live in Singapore Yeap I'm asking my uncle about the price this week! You can send me a PM if I don't get back to you on this.

Hi, I would be extremely interested in getting some of that. I tried making a solslyva 24x48 router out of lumber, but it all warped so badly by the time I started assembly that none of it is square!!

A makerslide setup would make it SO much better, and save me a ton of time, money, and effort. Post or PM me if you're still planning on doing this, or if you have any left over.

P.S. I live in the US, and I'd be willing to buy at least 5 meters of it.

Its appealing me and I shall place an order after confirming the price.
