Tks for the update, the cast parts look good.
What resin are you using, it would be visually interesting to cast it clear, the white parts look stylish.
If you plan to advertise your printer, black is the worse color (magazine editors don't like it, and even forbid it), white, and bright colors show off the product best.
If the resin is rubbery, you might need to add a filler (glass fibers) to the worm wheel to stiffen up the cast part.
Maybe a filler will help with the geometry issues too.
I've used glass micro spheres in epoxy, it makes it brittle.
For structural strength cotton flock is added to epoxy, I've seen it used on kit planes.

I think that the GDR, and Gus-Simpson family of 3d printers are pretty clever machines, and solve some major evolutionary hurdles, such as eliminating a lot of precision machined metal components. If there's a possibility that they can print to blueprint specification, then it's worth spending our time on solving.

The GDR is, as far as I can tell, the MOST 3D PRINTABLE printer out there. With the release of your files, there should be great motivation for developers who are really good with the firmware to help out. This is exciting stuff!
And it sounds like you are making progress on it after all. I've kicked in a bit to help motivate you (less than you are worth, certainly) and just to make sure you know that we are solidly behind Solidus. ,o)
Now, can I assume that the goal here is to use the spreadsheet to figure out how to adjust parameters in order to accomplish self calibration?
