Text (Motivation)
I am exploring the Sarrus linkage. I think that it has the potential to make mostly printable linear bearings.
This is an attempt at making a Z axis that would be suitable for lifting a platform on which to print, or maybe holding an extruder from above.
It is a continuation of a series of attempts to use simple hinges to make complicated things.
I have named it the rather uninspired name of Z01 because it is just one part of a much bigger story, I hope. When I have a Sarrus based printer, I will probably name it Sarrus, to honor mathematician who came up with the fundamental geometry and to continue the reprap tradition of naming machines after people from the 19th century.
