Hi,
Motedis B-type profiles are very cheap. Still I don't have high-quality router bits (softer wood rather then aluminium) and I wonder if I will spend double because I order the B-type profiles and fail routing them into V-Slot profiles.
Is there a source for V-Slot profiles (delivery to Germany) with comparable prices to Motedis? Is there a cheaper source for Motors and Arduino/CNC shield? Where do you buy your T8 screws?
Everything else I already bought ;)
Thanks Topsie for the great design!

P.S.: is the HEAVY version now the only version being developed forward? Had the "Light" version some flaws (what is its maximum recommended size) or stability problems? It would be nice to have a good "Light" version, so you could start smaller with the option to upgrade to the HEAVY and reuse most of the parts, except the profiles.
I purchased my lead screws and extrusion in the USA as Aliexpress was used for most other parts. ZYLtech.com was used for US items. Aliexpress seems to be cheapest for me for most items if you can wait for delvery.
Thanks. ratrig seems nice but the shipping cost to Germany somewhat makes it somewhat a much less good deal.
ooznest is not super cheap. I didn't check the shipping.
Any cheap suppliers to Germany?
Hey shoe, i will put the V1 on my website, and add some support on it, dont worry, the V1 still a good option
Thanks Topsie! Since you have Nema 23 now for the HEAVY, you need a use for the Nema 17 anyways ;)
Maybe you could give a recommendation for the maximum size limit for X-Y-Axis you think the V1 is still good and stable?
For example:
V1: maximum X-Axis of 700mm and maximum Y-Axis of 600mm. People who need longer X-Y-Axis should use the HEAVY design.
P.S.: do you plan to add EndStops to the design?
Hey shoe, I bought my V-slots at https://makersupplies.dk/.
Thanks! Keep the links coming!
I found this one: https://grobotronics.com/v-slot-2040-1000mm-natural-anodized.html
Cheap or free shipping depending where you live.
Not Motedis level prices but well...
Btw...anybody got a clue why Motedis has no V-Slot profiles? Seems like the most popular profile nowadays. Strange.
Also let me know about cheap sources for T8 lead screws ;)
Btw, the belt design seems pretty cheap. Why not use them?
