    How to buy linear shafts at Misumi USA store?

    I wish to buy linear shafts at Misumi USA store but I don't know exactly what I need. They have "Bearing Steel" shafts at https://us.misumi-ec.com/vona2/detai...0042688%3a%3aa

    I wish to build a larger version of my PowerSpec 3D Pro printer. I want to buy aluminum extrusions, linear shafts, and lead screws from this store. The build volume of my printer is about 9" x 6" x 6" and I would like larger version to be about 16" x 16" x 12". I may want to add parts for a CNC router similar to the one shown at http://www.microcenter.com/product/4...graver_Machine (the motor and bit). Any suggestions? I looked at OpenBuilds website but most of the machines don't have lists of parts that I need to buy in order to build them.

    What happens for you when you click on the Order link in the upper right corner? When I do, it presents me with a login and registration screen. As I am not desiring to purchase at this time, I've declined that option, but I suggest that completing the process would give you the ability to order the parts.

    If you look at the "Configure" tab, I'm confused by all of the options. Would be much easier buying a CR10 kit but many companies make CR10 kits and I don't know which one to buy. The largest CR10 kit has build volume of 500mm x 500mm x 500mm but CR10 kits have build platforms that move back and forth instead of up and down, are not enclosed, and I think they have Bowden feed instead of direct feed.

    Are there other places where I can buy
    aluminum extrusions, linear shafts, and lead screws to build 3D printers or CNC routers? I'm afraid of buying stuff from Chinese companies like Aliexpress.
