Re: X-Carve Upgrades

If you REALLY want a project, I've always wondered how practical it would be to modify the X-Carve to entirely be driven by lead screws or ball screws. It always seems like the belts have too much slop or slip to hold a tolerance for what we're doing.

I've also seen a few fairly interesting projects involving expanding the build space of the X-Carve to 1000x2000 that seemed potentially useful.

Closed-loop stepper motors might also be a nice upgrade to have.
