As my first venture into 3D machines still works well after 1,5 years running. Now I have changed a little of the delta design, making it more and more precise, adjusting a couple of thing here and there and ran into the discussion with a friend of mine concerning the precision of the stepper motors I currently use. They are of the very cheap chinese (robotdigg, 6,5€) sort. Of course I do beleave, that with more and higher quality components it will run even more precise, but I would like to hear from you what Brand of stepper motors are reasonable in terms of price and precision. I have been happy with the cheap chinese NEMA 17s, in combination with the RAMPS, but have now changed to a RADDS and would be interested in what you think would be appropriate. Stay with the chinese ones? Have one from brand XY? ... looking foreward to your comments! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,536736,536736#msg-536736 Fri, 06 Mar 2026 16:09:43 -0500 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,536736,536871#msg-536871 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,536736,536871#msg-536871
If you are into upgrades, I recommend Duet electronics. You get a great web interface, digital control of motor currents, and 30-second delta auto-calibration. If you don't already have FSRs or another good Z probe solution, you may also be interested in my differential IR height sensor.
