Re: ebay auto feeder- feasible?

Found these semi-auto 3d-printable feeders. Does not require additional electronics for most part, any chance for support (moving the head to latch the next part)? https://github.com/alexavr2/alexfeeder I believe these are perfect for what this PnP is for.

Re: Cable chains issue / first element gives way

Had exact same issue on the granty side, just wedged a long screw in-between granty metal pieces and it sort of works fine :)

It turns out, it was caused by my USB hub, if I connected those cameras directly, they worked just fine.

Nice, forum crashed when I tried to upload video first time, so here is a second attempt. I am experiencing some really nasty noise from Z motor (Motor 3), tried different speeds and acceleration, but it seems to only go away at very low speeds (200). All other axis seem to work just fine with reaso...
