Worm Gears-worst efficiency

hey guys -

For anyone still at the design stage wondering what to buy for their motors I wanted to offer some friendly advice. Avoid worm gear types whenever possible.

Open107v Motion Controller with touch LCD Open107v Motion Controller with touch LCD

This project was able to be kickstarted after the kind donation of the open107v dev board from some x-sim members as listed in the following thread.
viewtopic.php?f=43&t=306
