RepRapMicron Z Axis Constraint
Ok, V0.04 tagged in github, on to V0.05
I've made a simple complementary Z Flexure that straps onto the V0.05 Axis Driver. This is needed because the probe just dangles off the end of it, while the X & Y axes have additional constraints built-in. Without this flexure, the probe could shift back and forth. There should be a similar flexure on the other side.
I'll probably have to shorten it by 10mm to make it fit amongst all the other stuff dangling over the Stage (it's parametric, fortunately). The Axis Driver will need a few slight mods to make sure there are captive nuts in place to secure the Z Flexure. Also I'll need a new Probe assembly that bolts on to the end of the Axis Driver, and most likely a new method of supporting the Z Axis Driver because I doubt it'll fit the Z Tower very well. But I has optimisms.
