T-slot Construction

Betzbot is designed to be built using T-slot profile beams gained through printing or die extrusion. The variety of T-slot accessories available as well as it's availability in the more expensive, more rigid, aluminum will allow for different configurations to be tested and lend easy to modification and personalization.

Smooth Rail, Rack & Pinion

By printing on the diagonal against a smooth flat surface it is possible to print a rigid, smooth rail up to <math>\sqrt{2} </math> of your bed length.
