Hallo hallo,

Inventables sent me this thing, pre-made V-slide on extruded aluminum. They're working with the inventor of this to get it out into the market. It is a reasonable price for all that extruded aluminum.

YOU HAVE BEEN INFORMED!

I was just looking at that the other day. did they send you a piece that we could model a carriage for? my understanding is they don't make the carriage at present.

Nope, all I got was the promotion. I could ask for a 3D file if you really want it.

Nice, just looking at the pictures makes me terribly curious about how easily we could build similar mechanisms for the extruded aluminum, and steel pipe that we have in abundance down at AHA.

The web site links to a number of different CAD/DXF files for the parts (not sure if it's all of them)
