NordicCNC's build log

Hi,

from #111 "Perhaps I could change the design and use only 1 servo motor on the Y-axis with belt drive connected to both sides. This in turn will not allow for squaring the gantry with motion controller but I think i can get it square any way."

I am face to the same question and first thought is doubling motor + driver + home switch is a costly option compare to 1 motor + belt drive... Have you develop the track of 1 motor for the both Y with belt drive ? Could you advice buildLog of thread that discuss this point ?
Regards

No I didn't go for that. I did alrady buy the components fpr dual drive Y-axis and they are being shipped currently. I never looked into the design either. I bet it could work, but perhaps it is not ideal in my case for a 1200mm gantry!
