Hi,

Making this post to check if someone can give me any feedback/review about the next product:
[www.motedis.com]

video:

The idea is to use the slider was the carriage and put a simple 2020 bar for the x axis.
I found almost zero information about this slider, i only have the video and the info of the selling page.
Before i buy this it will be great to have some feedback only to be sure i not making a big error.

That looks expensive, especially for the performance which is ultimately limited by whatever polymer they have sliding. I'd guess you'd get better precision and reliability with a linear guide bolted to the extrusion.

In therm of cost is 30€, is less of a good guide linear rail. But you are probably wright, the precision and reliability will be worse.
I was only thinking to use this only because it will allow to have a carriage "ready to go", main problem is to know if the precision can be good enough for a 3d printer?
