Update 19.5.2019
Don’t build this right now, I have a version coming based on Openbuild Rails that is more robust, quieter, faster and about the same price, maybe slightly more.

This design was not as robust as I hoped in the long term, the Igus Bearing have to much friction and the ball bearings are too loud for me.

I made some very promising test‘s with the new design today and hope to upload the design within the next few weeks.

I built the ZenXY, but it turned out difficult and rather expensive (well, more expensive then the 8mm rods) to find those 23.5mm Alu Tubes here in Switzerland. I wanted a design that would be quieter and get me more axis range within the limited space of an Ikea Lack table. Everything can be ordered i
