What's the catch [cgi.ebay.com]? 6 motors for $35? that seems too good to be true. So, will these motors work in a reprap?

You see that the torque for it is about 140 oz-in (1.06 N-m). The motor you are looking at gives you about 54 oz-in. Assuming that the Nanotech stepper isn't vastly oversized for what it has to do, it looks like this stepper on offer gives you a bit over one-third of the torque that you need to run a Darwin.]]> Forrest Higgs Mechanics Sat, 19 Apr 2008 09:06:47 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,11199,11242#msg-11242 Re: What's the catch https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,11199,11242#msg-11242 www.elwood.com]]]> degroof Mechanics Sat, 19 Apr 2008 08:32:34 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,11199,11241#msg-11241 Re: What's the catch https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,11199,11241#msg-11241
You don't know the resistance, inductance, operating voltage limits, step size, max amperage demand or anything else.]]> Forrest Higgs Mechanics Sat, 19 Apr 2008 08:00:44 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,11199,11238#msg-11238 Re: What's the catch https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,11199,11238#msg-11238
Could be too that people just didn't believe that there wasn't a catch.

1. No one's bidding on it, in which case, posting the link here probably wasn't the best move. :-)

2. They might gouge you on shipping.]]> degroof Mechanics Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:31:09 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,11199,11199#msg-11199 What's the catch https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,11199,11199#msg-11199 cgi.ebay.com]?
