A technical drawing for the linear slide rail is available. We have a .dfx, .bmp and .dwg file available. Technical drawings provide exact details and measurements and help to understand the size and shape of the rails. You can also use this drawing te create computer models that help to guide the actual build. The linear guide rails are available in different sizes to suit various needs: 200mm, 300mm, 600mm and 750mm.
Some years ago we made a few videos on the basics of how to use MakerBeam. For example how to fasten brackets or corner cubes. Time to shed some new light on these videos. They may just give you some good insights and ideas on how to use MakerBeam for your own project.
We made an overview for you with the specifications of our three beams put together. We believe this will be helpful in your choice what beam to use for your project.
Specifications MakerBeam, MakerBeamXL and OpenBeam with a drawing showing a detailed cross section.
In this post you will find a link to technical drawings of MakerBeam and a number of brackets. A pdf with information on stiffness of the hollow core MakerBeam is also there.
