I have had some positive experiences with ROTON. I figure if anyone is going to have a straight screw it will be them. Also the Torqspline is the same cost but is more efficient. The coolest thing is that it is none locking and you can back drive with the same efficiency. (For an ME this is icing on the cake.) Homing for now will consist of me pushing the carriages to the top. (I can have a screw come down for microadjustment.)

We made good progress today. We get to build again on Friday. I think it will be almost all done by the weekend. First moves and possible first prints are next week. (or my students don't get a good grade :-) )
