That's.... Ingenious. I'm kind of mad I didn't think of it first.

I've seen similar stuff done before. For anything that has to last I'd replace the servo with a stepper. The servo's don't last a long time under any heavy load. There are a few 3d printer designs floating around that use printed rack and pinion.
