Still a bit to do

Pondering which way to mount the motor .

The lazy way ,straight out using a coupling .

Or stick it under the knee ,belt and pulleys ,,,,,,,,,more machining.

Rob,

What size is that stepper motor? It looks to be a very stout motor that should do the trick for you.

I think I have a couple of those motors. I'll have to see if I can find one and see what kind of torque it has.

Rob,

Maybe some day. I got those motors from work. They were going to throw them out so I snatched them up.

Not yet John ,,,,,,,,,,,still pondering Chin i will slap the Knee onto the machine and see how much room i have , if mounting the motor underneath reduces the Z travel ,i may mount it to one side .
