Slop can be taken out with preload... or always approaching a point from the same direction. Though if this is something like a milling machine then you have forces acting on your nut to deal with. But if all you need is repeatable motion you could do better than your slop.
- dylan604 6y agoLots of ways to ultimately handle slop. Stepper motor vs servo motor makes a big difference. I didn't know if I wanted speed or accuracy when I stared. Also had to make the decision of belt driven vs screw. Ultimately, accuracy was most important, so lead screw with a stepper. It's just a pain to carry around as the lead screw dictates the size of the rig.
