I based it on the "HobbyCNC" design, but added height to the "Z" and added "Z" bushings. Oh and it's 6061 aluminum.

Thanks Jon.

I used KL8078 stepper drivers, and KL23H276-30-8B 282 in-oz. steppers from www.kelinginc.net (http://www.kelinginc.net)
I used a parallel port interface card from www.cnc4pc.com (http://www.cnc4pc.com)
I used anti-backlash nuts from www.dumpstercnc.com (http://www.dumpstercnc.com) on 1/2-10 ACME thread.

Thanks for the information it is greatly appreciated.

Do you have a bill of materials and plan details that you would be willing to share?
Is there anything you would do differently if you were to build another one?

Thanks
Jon
