If it was on the main shaft it would technically never have slippage as long as the rack was engaged. I'm think Robofocus suggsets main shaft for this reason.
Looking for feedback before I continue with the project. Any advice welcome.

I'd recommend 10:1 rather than the main shaft. In case the focuser locks, it's better to have some slippage than stripping the smallest motor gear, or you'll be up for a new motor.
