    Unfortunately I'm still waiting for the pulleys to arrive, so I've temporarily put some spare XL pulleys I had lying around on it. Since using the pulleys I had means the bigger pulley had to go on the motor, it's currently 30:14 ratio so it'll currently go silly fast - over 10m/min!

    Oddly there's still 0.02mm (0.0008") of backlash... not sure what's causing it yet, I'm hoping it's just the pulleys so I'll look into it further when I've got the new ones.
