## Integrated xyz machine with short (50mm)_z axis.
Below is a short z-axis integrated into the xy machine. The z axis has about 50mm travel. Next, demonstrate wax cutting and PCB milling with this configuration, as well as measuring z-axis resolution and hysteresis.

String up and measure z-axis alone. First horizontal, with fishing line as belt. Necessary to adjust bearing position to ease friction on z-travel. Once that feels good, the plot below is obtained, moving in increments of 32*(1/32) steps eight times forward, then reversing. Each full step is calculated, using the radius of the capstan, to be 0.31 mm. Hysteresis is about 0.05 mm.
