Cool project, and as an amateur tinkerer, I love to see these things open sourced and documented as there is so much to learn.

I'm a little surprised by the nema motors, as they look overdimensioned for the task. Is there a good reason? Stability/precision?

I could justify that with being so standard that it's available everywhere but TBH that's just what my local electronics store had. (: I've also realized that it's probably overkill for the job and added a note in the documentation.
I think that's a good enough justification :) I was more curious if it came as a result of actually needing it. Btw, great job on the website and examples.
