Re: pic: Linear bearing rails: the Cheesy RAWC way
33 actually used some benchmarking off of 254 for our elevator this year. It was a really cool experiment in the importance of certain dimensional tolerances. While many dimension in this system can be reasonable, many have to be extremely precise. Too tight and the system will die a binding death. Too loose and it will beat itself to death.
Overall it was a very cool project, but tough on a mill without a digital readout. Definitely gave me additional respect for the POOFS craftsmanship.
If you have never built an elevator it is definitely a good off season project to learn what is important.
