Hello everyone,
My name is Tom and this is my first post, I've been reading and
looking for a couple months now, this site is awsome I've learned
so much here and been inspired to build my own machine!
The z axis and gantry are nearing completion, being built of steel
and aluminum with many cast parts quite heavy, I'm guessing 125lbs.
Using 640oz motors from campbell designs all axis will be belt driven,
the drive screws are 1/2 8 double start acmes. HERE'S my question>
Should I use a 1 to 1 pulley config or 1 to 2 small pulley on motor
larger on screw or other I'm STUCK here! ( gecko 202s & mach 3)
Any help here would be greatly apreciated !!!!!
Sincerely Tom
