@see3d:
I think scissors jack is a great idea, maybe can reuse actual arms and bearings to do it
z axis goes down when the stepper is free?

BTW, this design uses 32 608's. That sounds like a lot and it is but the overall costs are right around $10 for this z stage when the bearings are less than 25 cents a piece. It would be hard to get 1 metal rod for that price.

@cozmicray: Agreed that I could simplify. However, my personal requirement is that I use no linear guides. Anyways, that is just to just open up our minds and get us thinking. Opening bid if you will.
I would drive this just like I drive Wally's bed.
Btw, you can keep the motors from turning off during a print and for me the crash after the motors go off it is audible but not destructive. You can also turn off the timeout when inactive. Is anything causing you grief?

Practically, there aren't any concerns with it... But part of the goals of the Wally were to have a printer that doesn't use any linear rails. Using L-shaped, square shaped, round or slotted linear rails kind of goes against the point of the puzzle...
