Very Tall Z-Axis?

Post by Scrapmaster87 »

I'm eyeballing what would be needed for a z-axis using 1,000mm rails and screws.

I don't plan on any non-planar prints, so would lead screws be sufficient? (12mm? 16mm??) I'm trying to figure the best approach, Igus offers lead screws and nuts, which I'm guessing wobbly may be better on lead screws vs ball screws as they're not hardened to the same extent?
