QuoteMechaBits the 2 types mount differently, one has all holes on same axis, the other has the 16mm hole 90 deg to the mount holes search for 16mm shaft support. Not quite the carriage you where looking for but might come in handy. Awesome! Thanksby 3DMachiner - Reprappers
Hi, I am planning on building a 3d printer on a tight budget, and so since I need 5 stepper motors, $12 usd for 1 nema 17 on ebay is more than I would be willing to spend. So I was wondering if anyone knows of a place where I can get nema 17 steppers at a low cost or second hand? Or perhaps is there a cheaper alternative to the nema 17?

Thanks for the replies! I guess ABS should work, and just to be safe, I won't use PLA, even if I have read some people have used it for the carriage.by 3DMachiner - Reprappers
A 16mm rail clamp(2 types choose best one for your setup) grips the hotend perfectly, better than groove mount. maybe carriage can stay plastic, though maybe you can make something from alu plate. Thanks for replying What are the 2 types of 16mm rail clamps you are referring to?by 3DMachiner - Reprappers
Hi! I am looking to build an Ulticampy 3d printer, and since I am completely new to the world of 3d-printing, could someone advise out of which material the central carriage containing an E3D V6 hot end must be made of? It is categorized in the 3d-printed parts section, which implies ABS or PLA; however, the high temperatures associated with hot ends would easily melt both PLA and ABS.

Hi! I am looking to build the Ulticampy V2, and while the author included a detailed parts list, I am not sure what extruder I should get. I am completely new to the world of 3d printing, but I would like to be able to get nice, high quality prints with ABS and PLA. Based on the Ulticampy design, I believe it seems as if the extruder is all that is needed (please confirm) as the head for the pby 3DMachiner - Plastic Extruder Working Group
