    Hardcore. Hope it holds.

    If it doesn't I've got pictures in my build thread of a simple solution to push/pull with a welder if you can get your hands on one. Gives room for a lot more travel too.

    the aim was to find a solution with little effort, easy for everyboy without a lathe, welding and metal machining,
    very surprised how tight it fits.

    I look silly! But I did not understand what is the purpose of this new type of slider?

    How much stretch can it withstand? The original sfx100 has only thrust but no tension, and cannot be used on the fifth axis of the horizontal axis. If your design pull is large enough, it can be used on the horizontal pull shaft, which is great!

    choose the version with the metal collar (28/48mm) enlarged to 30mm that only works durable.
