@lorentz Its just prototyping with shitty ebay hardware. I dont want to wait another 3 weeks to get the correct one cheaply from china and using a euro supplier is just too damn expensive. If it ever makes it to production I could swap it out easily since its designed for one and not for my hack.
So I have a hardware project which requires two spindles to move something. Turns out one of the two i ordered has a sliiiightly smaller pitch than the other. Therefore it to moves slower than the other one and shit doesnt work.
FuckThis.exe I go to the hardware store and get two M8 threaded rods with nuts. Install it and it works. This shizz has less backlash than both spindles combined and cost 1/3 of just one propper spindle.
This is pretty much the first time I've seen the shitty solution work waaay better than the propper one.
