Just starting to throw some ideas for my X axis out there. Idea is to use a 1204 screw & nut (now that Chai has 'em), for now have the ballnut bracket on standoffs but will be eventually mounted to the end of a longer top slide. After reading some notes in MEW regarding a ML7 conversion I'm going to try out a nema17 motor with a 2:1 reduction.....Everything is designed to be modular so if I need a change of motor all that is needed is a new motor plate and a longer belt. Compound will be removed and I will use a solid tool post as I am using now.

Here are some ideas drawn in sketchup. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
