the package of 3 guides and the skids (12) cost 90€ including cutting and delivery... It would be great to find something cheaper...

I mentioner Gen7, not Gen6. Gen7 is DIY-able, Gen6 is designed for industry production.

Drawer slides are surprisingly good if you restrict their movement. They have two sets of linear bearings forming a telescopic structure, the larger set are good, the smaller set I found are not stiff enough so you need to fix them relative to the large bearing.

I have had great success using stainless steel rods (not precision ground, just good quality) and removing the centres from normal bearings to use as bushings. I just make sure there is always a big blob of grease trapped between each pair of bearings on a slider.
