We are using it for some of the modular machines. You can see a couple of uses for that particular plate/wheel design on the KickStarter page gif.

So, not only can you use it on the 20 x 20, but you can also use it on the 20mm edges of the 20 x 40, 20 x 60, and 20 x 80 as well. We have been working on creating the smallest possible carriage that we can that will ride on any 20mm width edge of V-Slot. Thanks for your reply and your input! As a matter of fact, we are working on a smaller wheel type. We hope that you will help make this tool available to everyone by spreading the word and helping to bring V-Slot to the world! The Internal V Track allows for multiple Dual V Carriage Mounting Configurations and Orientations while the same structure allows for the well known T-Slot type modular building systems. OpenBuilds V-Slot is sure to offer the most builder/designer friendly experience on the market. One of the many benefits V-Slot offers is its sleek, tight design with no protruding arrows or other obstructions to get in the way of an ultra-minimalistic low profile build. We hope that all will benefit as a low cost completely Open Source alternative to T-Slot extrusions.ĭesigning and building linear actuators that are integrated into the structural frame itself is now a reality! [ These are just the tip of the iceberg of things that can be done with this system.

In short, its an aluminum extrusion with a built in v groove for linear motion! It has a lot of cool applications as you can see here: We here at the OpenBuilds Team have come up with a cool new tool for makers and we wanted to share it with the RepRap community!
