Some thoughts:
*nanoDLP can also run a RepRap style controller board and may reduce jitter and speed fluctuations due to RPi GPIO
*The motor on the machine is a bi-polar stepper (NEMA 17) with a quadrature encoder that feeds into a controller board. That controller would be a useful component to salvage to ensure precise location of the paten.
