Amazon/Ebay/Ali…
Turner Motor: Iverntech NEMA 17 Schrittmotor mit integrierter 400 mm T8-Leitspindel I dont think that is a good choice, the T8 Spindle bends to much… better you M10-M12 ones and 450mm or more Travel

V-Rolls for Wires: V624ZZ Kugellager V Nut Rillenkugellager you will need 6 off them and special M4 Screws else they will not moove

T8 Nuts: T8 Mutter Gewindespindel Messing Mutter you need 3 off them, but you may find a better way to mount your pipe on the Spindle!
