I am on my 7th design iteration.
My question is regarding motors. Is there any reason not to just use a servo on one axis?
My thinking is that if I go the two X axis motor route, I can probably buy a servo + drive for roughly the same money as 2xnema and 2x drivers.
Upside of this being I could run a heavier gantry (120KG).
I am thinking I'd see more single servos driving an X axis, and steppers the rest, if that was the case?
