    If you are tight on money for the build, you could buy cheaper square rails than Hiwin. Find a good factory and buy from them. it will be wise to make a plan and follow it. My machine cost me somewhere around 6-7k totally. 8x4 machine can not be made properly for 5k. you have 3k for rails, ballscrews and so, 2k for electronics and motors, 1k for metal for frame and so on. Though i lied to myself some time that i can make it for 5k.

    And i had all necessary machinery and skills to design it and make it 100% by myself. And not first build, mind that.


    So make a plan, follow it, be persistent, do not make any mistakes and you will do it.
