    Is there a particular reason you've chosen chain and not toothed belt?

    You think that's too expensive? You're not a Model Engineer are you? :D

    It's just what I had laying about. To be honest may end up using timing belt. If I have too many issues getting cogs for the chain.

    Didn't like the price of the correct screws and had problems finding in the final size I want.

    As for the belts I could find plenty but already had plenty of chain. I'll have to gear down the ratio between the stepper and the x axis cog control arm. Which as far as I can tell will be easy enough and provide even more torque.
