Works quite well for a my uses.
Some of the parts used
Stepper motors

Stepper driver

Although I have blown 2 up. One was by turning the Travel handle while it Was moving.
With careful treatment they now seem ok. I would like to try something better. May be a Gekko....
Ball screws on X Y X
I bought 2 Chinese Ball screws with 4 Ball nuts , and had the machine the ends to 16mm, then made suitable sleeves to fit the bearings.
