(...) Well, I've been experimenting with macaroni bearings, and had some pretty good results. You can attach 24 & 40 tooth gears directly to the 2x2 rounds - this means the axle only has to take all the load at one small point. I haven't yet tested (...)

It's not pretty. I've sheared teeth on racks when using them for Z-axis (up/down) stages that had a fair bit of weight on them. It broke the pinions too : ( To be fair though, it was bad design on my part to use a rack and pinion for that. I should (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)
