Wouldn't It Rot Yer Boots - an off topic car problem My old hilux has started to get a flat battery - sometimes. I stuck an ammeter in the battery lead the other day and there was a 2.2 amp leakage current with everything turned off. I noticed a click noise each time i connected/disconnected...

I use PayPal for most of my online purchases. As I live out in the sticks I do buy a fair bit online My PayPal account is tied to a Debit Visa card with very little cash in it. If I buy something substantial using PayPal I just stick enough money in the bank to cover the purchase.

1.8 degree motors have 200 steps per revolution in full step mode Using as an example only, if you have .001" movement/step then 1 motor revolution gives .2" movement. With 10 threads per inch on the Z axis, 1 turn of the lead-screw will give you a .1" movement. So a 2:1 gearing is required...

yes, it determines the ideal ratios you need for best performance
