New Z stage, from the ground up


I spent some time redesigning the Z stage. To the right is a screenshot from SolidWorks of the components I have used. I used a technique new to me, called capture nut. I will add more details on how this works later, I will bring it to the laser tonight. The small square is a 1" by 1", this is used for calibration as the dimensions get altered when I import this into Adobe Illustrator before printing.
