Z axis ballscrew

One of the guys on IRC asked me about the Z-axis ballscrew visible in the last post. It uses a rotating nut to drive a screw attached to the quill. Click on the thumbnail below for a larger image of the assembly drawing. The details and exact dimensions were chosen to work with the screw/nuts/bearings that I had on hand, other people will probably need something different.
