Day 5 Z-axis build

After troubling the problems in the z-axis, it finally moves. :)

First align the smooth guide rod, the put in the lead screw.

Was testing the stepper motor driver. There is still a need to fine tune the max AMP in the driver board. For now, is max current :X. But the stepper motor is very very hot. My guess of 80 degree after running it for <5mins. More work to be done. At this point. i will need another 5 more days before i can start on the extruder.
