I don’t have anything to sell currently, but I update the materials on GitHub.com/mikeachines As soon as I have something to sell I’ll definitely post it :)
For the VSlot designs, not that I"m aware of. These are new, as old as the videos are really. I've been letting them run for a few hours, and tweaking the design - mostly making sure the end of the screw is supported by bearings. Unlike other screws, the 1/4" Igus is too small to support much weight. The inline (non-pulley) version has a lot of promise, my goal is to finalize the design, materials, and see if selling them would be viable.
I've recently tried building some smaller ones, I totally understand how compact is important. One way to make them significantly smaller is moving the motor inline but underneath the cylinder. I also might have overestimated the required cylinder sizes. There're so many variables - width, length, even material of tube and cylinder, number of joints... I definitely erred on the side of having to much vs. having too little.
Great machine, the end caps are not listed in the parts pdf
Thank you for letting me know me know! I need to find them, but I’ll upload and update the doc this week.

What is the price
The price for the parts runs about $140. The materials were mostly selected to limit the amount of custom work so nearly anyone can build one :)
Has anyone got one and used it...

Como lo puedo hacer que funcione el actuador de esa manera, que sistema eléctrico ha que montar
I wish I could build my own machine and it would be small like a Venus. 😢
