Why not have a go at lathe spinning?

Is TBR20 the same as SBR20? I'm guessing it is.
expect an email shortly :)

Anyone know where to download free models.... for example

extrusion
supported rail
spindle etc etc

You will get loads of 3D / 2D stuff from:

Thanks bud, in all fairness the extrusion is a downloaded part. its only the gantry sides ive drawn but learnt that and how to mate (The wife will be happy im not pestering her to mate now :p ) just need to figure it out what it is i want to make haha

Still a good effort, and importing the extrusion is a good leap forward. You will find yourself revising the design over and over again, thats what happens when you do 3D.

Tip: with files like the extrusion, save it in multiple sizes, in its own folder: e.g, Folder: 20x60. Files, 20x60x100, 20x60x150, 20x60x200 etc. It will save you loads of time in the future!
