How did you do the Y?

I am using a couple of pulleys that I picked up at Conrad Electronics here in Wiesbaden, Germany, they are 13mm with a 6mm shaft hole, hub with 2 set screws. I wrapped the wire 3 turns on the pulley, so that it won't slide when torque is applied. I also did a setup using 3/8 mxl belt for the X-axis and it works really well also. There is a little bit of stretch to the belt, so I'll be trying a different type of stainless steel cable for 50lb test to see if I can overcome the stretch.
