The prompt

Design a 3D CAD model of a low-cost welding carriage (like Steelmax Rail Runner Gen III), as a full assembly with every part modeled separately. Specs: - Body approx 350 x 270 x 75 mm, aluminum 6061 plate, total weight 13-20 kg - Drive: NEMA 23 stepper + 10:1 planetary + 2:1 spur gear (20:1 total), steel pinion (module 1.5, 14 teeth) meshing with a rack - Pulling force 400 N, speed 0-250 cm/min - 4 V-groove guide rollers (2 fixed, 2 spring-loaded eccentric) to ride on the rail - Drive clutch knob to disengage the pinion, with adjustable backlash - Limit switch, 2 carry handles, rod holder for a torch (16-22 mm) with clamp - Motor driver box and control panel on top Output: exploded view, part list with material and dimensions, assembly steps, STEP files, and a list of parts to buy vs. manufacture.
