The journey continues...

• Found "nuts" for the lead screws to support vertical metal poles — T8 Conversion Nut Screw

• It works well, so bought a second one

• Refreshed my memory with a video about 3D printer parts (opens in a new tab) because this whole contraption is very similar & i was eating and wanted to watch a productive video

• Realized i need another brass nut for the lead screw, so i ordered one

• Made some funky notes / brainstorm that probably only i can decipher

  
  • Found some poles i can play with
  

  • I need screws... & need to shorten these metal poles

  • Got very mesmerized and inspired by the Raspberry Pi Factory (opens in a new tab)
