Very nice! Will look forward to the build log. I do not know of any sources for good multi-turn ball screws and ball anti-backlash nuts in a price range like that. Usually they resort to threaded rod or nylon blocks heated then pressed and sooner or later that bites you from wear.

Kind of suspect your CNC shield is a RAMPS 1.4?
