Ah I see! That's definitely something I'll look into. Thanks for that!
As for the motors, I'm currently using 15s for direct drive because it is running 1.75 filament. See, I'm trying to make something like the new extruder from micron [www.3ders.org]
I just noticed that they use an 11 motor with a 1:13 gearbox. Actually, the spec for the motor is on that page. So what I'm now wondering is 1) could I just get a geared 11 with the same spec? And 2) how difficult would it be to configure a geared stepper?
Thanks again for the help by the way! I know some of this is very ambitious, but the help actually makes me think it's not unachievable to do these upgrades.
