Build Your Own SLA/SLS

Stupid question... What is a good source for a z axis? I know people will say to check ebay. What terms should I be using when searching to find an accurate z axis? Thanks!

Unfortunately I tried him and he had sold them all. Thanks!

If you give me a couple of days I will post up some updates to my new printer and I will show you guys my custom DIY Z axis linear stage. Its very accurate and much much cheaper than some of the THK and other brand Linear guides. Could be built for around $180-200.

Here are some sample searches to give you an idea.

There are a number of brand names other than THK but this should give you an idea of where/what to look for.

Awesome, thanks guys! That helps.
