may have been too complex a task, so I designed
the basic frame myself so you have a starting-point.
Required work:
* add a work-surface
* add a handle
* add an additional piece to hold the captive nut in the middle and screw it to the inner side of the frame above to make it move
* add holes to mount it to a table
* take away some material on the bearing-hole to remove the overhang
* add a smaller hole behind the bearings, so the (moving) inner part of the bearings do not touch the frame (easier movement) but only the outher part (static) does.
The parametric original files for this assembly are included.
They should stay within the limits of the free Xpress-version
of Alibre Design but you can use the 30day test-version of it as well (as I did).

Well, if that's the metric you base your ratings on then that's fine.
I searched a long time and there simply was no production ready CAD system
(3d, parametric, graphical, supporting IGES) free or otherwise for anything
other then Windows. So that's what In have to use.
There's a free version of Alibre CAD and it seems that now there is a free version of Alibre CAM as well. Never used CAM. Was way too expensive and I already had a skeinforge+netfabb+RepMan(g-code) -toolchain in place.
Hmmm....
1. The free edition is only for CAM not designing (and i guess exporting)
2. Windows only
Doesn't meet the qualifications for usable design files hence it gets a 1 star rating.

Why is this here? It is incomplete, and doesn't work. Also there are no usable design files.
design files?
There is a rar file attached.
You must have missed it.
It's here to improve on and collaborate towards a finished one.
That's usually the point of having derived designs, comments and exposure to the public.
Back in the year I made that (to learn my way about the assembly-constrains of the CAD program I'm using) there was even a design challenge.
