Great thread indeed!
I was wondering if there is a way to print this thread in its entirety? It is so long to read on the PC that I would like to print and highlight key info. Or maybe it can be saved as a file and imported into MS Word? Or maybe one of you has distilled it down to the basics already? I am open to ideas on this.

Just looking at this quickly - go to the top of this page - you'll see 'Thread Tools' which has a 'Printable' option that you can select. From the printable version you can print to a .pdf. You'll still need to do this for every page, though...

Nice to see you on again Wal. Also there is an option on the printable version to show 40 posts on one page (at the top right hand side)

Good call on the '40 posts' Clive. Yeah, I've been lurking a bit... I'm around one of the weekends in Feb (8th?) I'll give you a shout and maybe drop in for a cuppa!

Hi,

I'm new to the forum but want to build something similar to this (very similar) I have read the thread a few times and am in the process of re-drawing the design in NX as I am not familiar enough with Sketchup to be confident releasing parts from it for manufacture. Also I think if I redraw it I will have a better idea of exactly how it all works and whether it will still be suitable for my requirements.

Could you please provide exact part numbers for the ball screws and linear rails you have used in this design. I have got the Hiwin catalogues but am unsure of the exact components that have been used. Once I know exactly what is used I can then start modelling these also.

Really enjoy reading the thread and have learned a lot already.

Thanks in advance for any help you can be.

Thanks,
Sy
