rails vs rods?
Hi guys
firstly, this is my first post here, so Hi, and sorry if I've managed to stick this in the wrong place or its been discussed to death already :/
so here we go...
I'm building a coreXY printer. Basically, my current I3 clone isnt up to par with what I want to do... That'll teach me for getting the cheapest printer I could lay my hands on
Anyway, I'm skimping on the aesthetics (I'm using a flipping Ikea lack table, with added supports, as a frame) so that I can focus on the bits that really matter, and make it a better printer.
So, I've come across a number of arguments for the use (or not) of linear rails rather than the standard rods. anyone got experience with these? Any thoughts\feeling\advice?
thanks
Dan
