    If using R&P, yes spring load the pinion against the rack - this takes out 99% of the backlash, but also fit a stop to the motor/plate to stop it being able to disengage or jump the rack if overloaded, a jumping pinion will chew both rack and pinion instantly meaning an expensive fix, far better to stall the stepper.

    I use R&P on my plasma table and its been flawless so far.

    It's not Dave it's me ;) I'm using the beta I've enabled the master repositories so should be bang up to date, it's does read 2.8 something on boot.

    I was hoping it was just an option in the ini to invert them you can do it from the stepconf but that's no good for setting up dual ballscrews.

    I guess swap the wires around will be the easiest solution.

    My brother asked me what I want for Xmas was going to ask for a 3nm nema 23 which I'll fit to the gantry and swap the 2nm from the gantry to the Z.

    I was thinking a dual pinion setup to remove the backlash, if I build this I'll put servos on it.

    When the time is right I should come down and give you fusion 360 lessons and you can help me with my R&P ;)
