    I know, sounds like a crazy idea ^^. Laser cutting won't be so expensive as I have industrial prices because I am working with a contact of mine that works for a company that make thousands of orders at the cutting shop. But I do agree with you.. I honestly don't know if the effort I put into modeling this thing would be worth the money gained on welding, but I think so.

    When you say "trade this for rails and bearings", are you suggesting to use weldments instead of nuts and bolts ?

    EDIT: for your information, I just asked for a HIWIN 20 quote from my AliExpress seller. We'll see what comes out.
