What a small world eh? I just came accross your thread on Bit-tech
Thanks though for the positive feedback. Maybe you can give me your thoughts on this. My two bing constraints right now are the linear rails I already have and getting the aluminum structural profile in 2m lengths.
The two linear rails shown in the picture are 50" long with 4 super pillow blocks and are 20mm dia. I also have two THK FBW3590R that are 300mm long. These I plan to use as the z axis. I also have two 22" round rails set inside an aluminum block that I plan to use for the Y axis.
so thats linear motion thats x=50"; y=22"; z=12" - big enough I think
My problem is trying to get a solid structure out of as little material as possible. Any thoughts?
