Design intent was to make it so both motors controlling the stage were mountable on the same platform. Other xy stage designs I've seen have the second motor mounted on the movable platform created by the first stage. I don't like the idea of needing flexible wires so I came up with this design prototype.

Prototype used two 1/4" -20 screws and two screw drivers

Improvements that can be made are:

  1. using a proper gear profile

  2. Building in axle to gear

  3. Tighter tolerances in some locations

  4. Redesign for printing orientation

  5. Outer gear/track on both sides for alignment stability.
