Dennis:
I'm curious how you are supporting your lead screw on the end
opposite your stepper (on the X and Y stages). It appears from your
drawing, so kindly offered for our education, that you have two T-
section collars, with set screws, set in opposition. Is this
arrangement functioning as your bearing? Are the collars Al? Your
arrangement of the Thrust Plate seems unique. Did you go this way to
reduce cost for the machine?
In these times of maximum buck extraction I, for one, appreciate your
willingness to share your design.
Best regards,
Ron
