I ended up test fitting the carriages on the cbeams and basically snug them up then back them off until movement is smooth. Start with the inner...
I look at SketchUp like it's my pen and paper. It helps me get a rough idea of the dimensions I need.
For me personally, my comfortable workflow is draw the bulk of my parts in SketchUp then model anything I'm going to manufacture in Fusion 360....
You can also import models of most product available from McMaster Carr
Literally every dimensional drawing is available on the manufacturer website. THK, Hiwin etc

Hey how did cutting your extrusions with a hand saw go?
Google fusion 360 linear rails. I'm at work right now but there are a lot of free models online. The hardest part of modelling ballscrews is the...
I have some SketchUp files of those parts
A few months back I started thinking about how to incorporate my rails with my current machine and without making huge changes, mounting them on...
I think we're just going to have to get really creative lol
That was my thought too. When I ordered the ballscrews, I actually didn't account for a wider x axis caused by the screws and rails.
