New screws and nuts for the zenbot [01221947885]
At Chris's suggestion, I bought new acme leadscrews and dumpstercnc anti-backlash leadnuts. This was to
replace the old triangular leadscrews and brass nuts, which measured huge
backlash, .010" or more on X. This was due at least in part to wear on the
nuts: fine brass dust was visible around the leadnuts after I ran a stall test
of 1000 inches or so at 1.5ips; I had earlier measured the backlash as only
about .005".
