Hey people. Im in the process of building a cnc plotter with an arduino nano. So the idea first seemed plausible as i had 2 dvd drives laying arround. Aaand also that i dont have enough funds to buy those nema 17 motors.
THE PROBLEEEM.
I am not happy with the surface area the stepper motor gives with their default construction. So i planned to attach a 4mm threaded rod with the stepper in a linear way ( -- --). But now it seemes that the steppers rod is not attached to the motor housing in a stable way.
So basically i need help to find a way to attach the rod to the stepper. Moreover, im unsure of the fact that if the angle of the rod has any effect on the steppers steps.
Help is extremely appricieted

Impossible to help without pictures of what you, yourself, is looking at!
