Process

What is making the part like?

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.

Example/SubAssembly and Related Example. (As a gentle style recommendation, it's good to try to keep all your parts and files on the RepRap wiki rather than scattered around so that Library Staff and Volunteers don't have to write scripts and so on to get stuff back onto the wiki.)
