    Motor selection

    /*dyslexia mode ON

    Hi all.
    I am wondering if the motors one chooses for the project must be all the same for the 3 axis.
    Is there chance to use different motor for the Z axis ?

    I have seen machines on here that use different steppers/servos.

    I would imagine that it would be best to use either all steppers or all servos though.

    I don't see a problem with using different motors, and sizes for different axis', as long as the axis is engeneered for that motor, and the software is told the specifics for each.
    Stop talking about it and do it already!!!!!
