Rack and Pinion

This RACK and PINION is the most useful one you will find!
It uses a standard servo (20mm x 40mm) that i turned into a gear box.
This has a 200mm rack, I have added a hole to each end of the rack for mounting.
The printer build plate determines the size I can print. if you need a longer one, you can do the modification with one of the many on-line programs.

You will need to buy one part, it is the servo spline post that will need to be glued in.

6 - 2.5 x 8 screws hold the cover on and 4 - 3 x 8 washer head screws hold the housing to the servo.
