This is a rework of the Z-Axis drive system to reduce the infamous z wobble and to increase Z resolution.
The 1:2 gearing allows print layers that are a multiple of 0.02 - 0.04, 0.08, 0.10, 0.12 etc. whereas the factory system allows for layers that are a multiple of 0.04 - 0.08, 0.10, 0.12 etc.
I have successfully printed down to a layer height of 0.04 with no noticeable Z-axis wobble.
Parts needed:
2x 20T 5mm bore GT2 pulley
2x 40T 8mm bore GT2 pulley
2x 150mm closed GT2 belt
