I just want to give a small update about the ball screw version of the Raw Creative.

This version may take another week or so before it is fully ready. The project has become a little bigger than I first expected, and the ball screw version is quite different from the belt and rack versions. Because of that, it really needs its own proper video and explanation instead of just being added quickly.

The Raw Creative project is a side project for me, and I really enjoy working on it. But I also need to spend time on regular work to pay the bills, so I have to build and publish everything step by step.

If you are in a hurry to start building, I would recommend looking at the belt version or the rack and pinion version instead.

The rack version is actually the version I personally recommend most for many builders, even over the ball screw version. A properly built rack and pinion machine is very strong, accurate and practical, especially if you want a larger machine. In real use, it can be just as good when it comes to resolution, strength and performance.

The ball screw machine is still coming, but it needs its own video because the layout and build process are different from the other versions. I will make it as soon as I have the time to do it properly.

Thank you for your patience and for following the project.
