Ahhh now there is a question..lol, I will not be able to answer that until i have my Spindle and Motor. So for now i am working on reducing any twist or flex on the gantry itself.
I am also considering belt drive 2:1 gearing so it wont be fast anyhow, but i need to test the gantry Re-inforce if need be test again and work out what stepper and driver i require so neither the stepper or the gantry is stressed beyond its capability.
