    Just a question on servos and steppers

    Just curious, has anyone mixed servos and steppers in a build? Maybe servos on the X/Y and stepper on the Z….

    Not yet, but I plan to... I've got a motion control card that has 4 servo outputs as well as some digital I/O. The plan is to use the servos on the X,Y,Z,A axis and steppers for tool change.

    I suppose one could use a mix of servos/steppers on the motion, but not sure why you would want to do so.
