Thanks, looks useful.

I plan to use a dc motor for my next test. stepper would work as well you can easily adapt the motor mount :)

Hmm, i'm getting a custom Z axis made at Ponoko, if it doesn't work out, I might actually give this one a try some how.

Have you tried getting it to run off a stepper motor?

FYI i'm making a RepStrap from 2 old scanners, form X and Y axes, and its the Z axis i'm working on, with a not so good design
