    Good day everyone.

    I found myself finally in the position to build myself a 6 DOF machine and i figured i should jump right in and give Silentchills machine a go. Then i ran into a problem. I cant for the life of me get the same size aluminum pieces he got. They either don't make them here in Canada/NA or something. But i spent all afternoon calling and googling and it was a bust. Mainly i cant get the same inside diameter which would be critical to get the 3d pieces to fit... Also i should say i am not a creative person so adapting the 3d printed pieces to fit is not in my bag a of tricks. Hopping someone can point me to a similar build but in NA so i can source the parts. Everything else in his parts list was easily attainable. I know from looking at the amazing craftsmanship on here this would be a easy task for you to adapt to. For me i want to just take a system that works and copy it.

    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    Cheers!
