I have gotten to the point where I am mounting the stepper motors. Per the instructions I installed the pinion gears flush with the end of the motor shaft. How much of the gear should engage the rack gears? As assembled I am seeing only about 2/3 to 3/4 engagement, so I sneaked a peek at the z-axis motor. Its pinion appears to fully engage its rack, so should I ease the pinions out to fully engage the rack or leave them flush with the end of the shaft?
Thanks! Stan
