So is your design the effector and the carriages? It looks like a Kossel mini derivative.

Nice design but as you say the hiwin bearings are expensive. In my build the intitial design was with 15mm hiwin's as I use there products lots in automation projects and they work extremely well but after costing everything converted over to twin 12mm hardened chrome rods per upright and LM12LUU bearings. Maybe my next printer will use the hiwins but that will depend on finding a cheaper source or snagging some off fleabay

Comparatively, the linear rails are the most expensive way to go. The cheapest I found was an overstock place that, surprise!, no longer has stock. Next cheapest is AliExpress. I wanted something that would add rigidity to the frame, still be extremely accurate, not as loud as rod bearings, and simple easy on the maintenance. I guess the expense was justified to me. It kept design pretty easy too!

Couldn't agree more on rigidity, simplicity and quietness. Hope you can find the funds soon. Frustrating getting so far and not being able to complete the project
