Got there. It's not perfect but it's a good progress.
I managed to built the gantry over which some kind of a cart can move, controlled by one axis of the CNC shield + Arduino.
Here it is in action:
Looks ok so far.
Yet I was surprised that the belt vibrates so much. Also the stepper motor is quite nosy, especially as the whole aluminum structure resonates.
Apparently the quality of piloting the stepper motor depends on the drivers I am using: I bought another set of drivers and I will check one of these days if it makes any difference.
