    Things are moving slow...but at least they are moving forward.
    I wanted to do all steel Z-axis but as I had something thrown together in CAD I changed my mind. Main reason is weight. Steel Z will be at least 7-10kg heavier. As my hole gantry is at the edge of using servos I will go with aluminium Z design.
    I'm not quite finished alu design but it will be from 25 mm thick material.
    Here is a picture of my alu design (left) and steel design (right side).
