New Z Axis Motor

Tonight I finally got around to putting on a new Z-axis motor. It’s about 5x the torque of the previous, plus 4 times as many steps per revolution (so 4 times as accurate). Since there is more torque, the rapid in the Z-axis is now 11 ipm, up from about 1.5 ipm with the previous motor. Yay!
