I see steel vee rollers referred to here and there on openbuild but no mention in store. Are there actually steel wheels and rails available? I do not think the "extreme wheels" will be enough for my design. My KurlyTie making system is currently hand fed. The next machine I am building will run lights out. Taking plastic pellets into KurlyTies in one fully automated process. For the production machine I will be mounting the extruder on rails and it weighs over 75 pounds. Attached is a view of my existing prototype which I use to make KurlyTies now. Also a video of it in operation. see www.kurlytie.com If anyone takes the time to see what I am making here and has any comments I would appreciate some feedback.
Its a retired product. Been replaced by Xtreme Solid V Wheel Kit The steel wheels used the rails as long-term consumables. The Xtreme wheels offer very similar rigidity, with less wear and tear Looking at the video of your machine, C-Beams with Xtreme wheels will do just fine But do take How to calculate V-Slot® deflection into account and suitably overbuild your frame
