3d Printer Part 12

I put the motor from a scanner on the slide from a printer. I got my gears and mounted one on a motor to get the bed moving. It works great pulling but it chatters when pushing so I'll be rethinking that. In the latter part of this video, can see the z axis working with slide mounted on it:
