Gavztheouch's Mk2 Laser

I thought I had it cracked, turns out I need to go back to the drawing board to fix backlash issue in the y-axis. So this will be my build thread as I attempt to integrate ballscrews into my design and get the backlash down to a usable level.
I am building a 40w 1.2m*0.9m laser cutter with servo motors and a Lightobject dsp.
Here are a few pics of the laser setup with the old y-axis HTD 3mm belts. The run of belting was chopped down to about 300mm as a test to see if it would reduce the backlash, which it did suggesting it is possibly belt stretch
