Description

Mount is in constant development, not all parts may fit together perfectly, sawing or modification of 3d model may be required. I will be posting updates.
You may need to print additional pads (name: BIGwasher)
and install them between the main gears and next to the bearings.
Fell free to message me.
Currently I use 3d printed worm gears, in the next month I have a plan to buy:

Looks fabulous! I'm really interested to see how this turns out. Is there a blog or other location that you might be contributing to that shows more details? I have a question; why not go with belt drive, rather than a worm drive. Worm drives are notorious for their backlash, whereas I believe a belt drive might be better in this regard.
