@paulhew Paul
the Robotdigg SUS440C Rails are pretty good tbh and they would be here within a couple of weeks but you are likely to get stung for VAT etc if you choose DHL as the shipper.

Just spoken to a really helpful technical guy @ TransDev.
He basically classed Hiwin as run of the mill but better than the other chinese products!
If I can find something closer to home and a little cheaper I will be happy!Getting there...... Just needs to order the cap screws, bolts, inserts etc etc before the main part, Duet Ethernet, Duex5 PSU, SSR, Bondtech extruder, bits for my E3D V6, cable etc.

Oh yeah, the Hiwin rails that are "all the rage" are definitively the lowest end of the scale. (With the chinese clones not being on the scale at all).
However with the minimal forces involved with 3d printing they're a good alternative for smooth yet rigid linear motion without having your credit card curl up in a fetal position crying in the shower:P
If you trawl eBay you can find better brand rails used and they should have ample life left in a 3d print application, but its more often than not much much bigger rails.
