In this build we will put together a quick easy to assemble belt driven linear guide.
Build Video
This linear actuator is modular, so there are may ways to build this version and they can be expanded to create large machines.
Please see example models for ideas
Note* this build could have also be done using the Mini V Plate and Mini V Wheels for a smaller gantry system. Everything else in the build remains the same. In fact anytime you are mounting the gantry to the 20mm side of V-Slot the Mini V will work as the gantry plate.
