I did it. Tonight I put the last rails on my paypal credit. I did not get 2 blocks per rail as I became afraid that 4 blocks might be too much drag for 1 stepper with all the weight of the gantry. So it was not $500 for Z. The total cost for me to convert my Tevo Black Widow to genuine HIWIN linear guides less the hardware is somewhere between $850 - $900. I have no regrets. I am not stupid and nor am I rich. I just really want a quality product and the cheap stuff is, well, just that. This hurt, it will take time to pay off, and I will not do this to all or any other of my printers. But this is my attempt at reaching as high as I can in the name of FDM print quality. We will see where it gets me.
