kbob,
The hex nut space took two tries even with the calipers. And then I ran out of the hex nut I was using as a model and had no idea where I got it, switched to another, which of course wasn't the same profile.
I've run the z axis using this design and it seems fine. With the 4 lead screws in, and the bearings in place, there's no movement noticeable. But of course, test one model before printing all 8.
As for printing itself, I've printed my last piece, the holsters for the laser which arrived a couple of weeks ago. Tried to make it as structurally streamlined as possible. With set screws and tube in, no wiggle I can perceive. Finishing up with the DSP. Any day now....if anybody wants the design, I can post...
