hey jazzcnc thanks for your input

i am keen to get started with my project so will ask some more advice,

do you know a supplier for ballscrews, like you say china is cheap maybe you have used someone there? also some advice on the drivers, i was looking to gt seperate drivers rather than a single board because when i burn one i can replace one as opposed to 3 or 4.

your suggestion on the belt driven x axis is interesting, didnt really consider this becuse im afraid of getting it wrapped around my fingers or even my face! also the design scope doesnt allow for this unless i change direction using pulleys at 90degrees directly below the screws which incidently will take care of the belt timing.


again thanks jazz
