    First, my goal: The project is a doll house elevator that goes 3 stories, in ballpark of 30" of travel, and able to stop at each level (I can handle the software part, just don't want it to slip). Accuracy is not a big concern. Also I happen to have some nema 17 stepper motors laying around, if those could be used, super.

    My "research" lead me to something like this:

    V-Slot NEMA 17 Linear Actuator Bundle (Belt Driven)

    Would that handle vertical movement for a lightweight application? I wouldn't want something that started slipping over time if it is not meant for vertical travel.

    Thanks!
