]got the under gantry mounted. Just bolted at the moment. If it moves at all, I'll glue it.

I added some temporary legs and got it right side up.

Played about with the settings, and upped the amps on the driver, got it upto 168IPM, with the acceleration almost instant

It moves pretty strong too, I can put a lot of force against the direction of movement and it keeps going.

I'm very happy so far.

it's moving about 20" back and forth in this video clip
