Using maker slide will end up like me using all those individual parts which will bring up cost as you have to mix and match rollers, bearings and still have to use belt and pulleys i guess. I would be looking at cheaper alternative from HIWIN (Taiwan) Linear actuators (KK type). It has everything build in. Plug in the stepper motor and some settings and print. It is also very precise.
I sure want to use linear drives assembly. I found out using belt and timing pulley more expensives and hard to find. I am using htd 3mm pitch which is not worth investing because I have to use 5 pcs of it which caused my project over budgeted. I would upgrade it to linear drives later stage when all my parts are complete. Thanks DanLuc.
Like to see more ppl do this with proper extrusions. I decided to do a similar one and get rid of the belts, an expensive alternative but I think well worth it.

Should be able to print 420mmx420mmx106. I did not want to get a new stepper motor for Z-axis. So Height will be the same as TOM.
this is cool, im building a printer using misumi 2040 and 404020(its like an l shape) mine should have a print area of 400^3+. and im using two nema 17s per axis to increase torque and speed, and i wanted to do some milling on it too. good luck!
