Hello guys,
that’s a great video and a nice application, using the DryLin W linear guides. We are the producer of these rails and like to see how it works. One more information: You can get the rails also without mounting holes. Art.-No.: “WS-10-80 UNGEBOHRT” …. Sorry, “ungebohrt” is german and means not machined.
Greetings from cologne, Stefan

Fixed the link. WordPress bug…

How hard it is to keep a constant speed? Well, it depends of own steady YOU can be. The friction is very low so any variation of speed would be caused by the user and not the track.

I am working on a full tutorial post about how to use it with tips and tricks. Coming soon!

Is the Igus slider difficult to keep at a consistent speed?

(The second link, “detailed explanation” doesn’t work)
