i was looking for some information on stepper motor voltages, i am looking at buying a .9 deg/step motor, but i am running my repstrap at 12v but the only motor i have found is 6v, how hard is it to drive it at 12v that i am feeding my stepper drivers. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,64571#msg-64571 Fri, 15 May 2026 10:21:36 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,65155#msg-65155 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,65155#msg-65155 dissidence Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors Sun, 31 Oct 2010 20:52:36 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,65008#msg-65008 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,65008#msg-65008 NewPerfection Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors Fri, 29 Oct 2010 02:48:31 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,64805#msg-64805 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,64805#msg-64805 read the documents atached here - it's an indepth view of some related aspects ...]]> VDX Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors Tue, 26 Oct 2010 03:52:36 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,64761#msg-64761 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,64761#msg-64761 .9 degree steppers as well. Unfortunately, I'll have to edit every single firmware release, since they all assume 1.8 degree steppers. (not that big a deal, really)

As i understand it, microstepping doesn't really increase resolution since the steps between detents aren't perfect. half steps should be just as accurate as full steps, but below that they loose accuracy. So starting with a smaller step angle will potentially lead to higher resolution (assuming your rods are straight, bed level, etc. your machine has to be pretty finely tuned)]]> Buback Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:32:29 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,64596#msg-64596 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,64596#msg-64596
thanks for the complement, i try to keep things clean, i know it goes a long way when it comes to reliability.

this stepper i am looking for is for my z axis, i still need to make my pulleys for it, any one out there have pulleys for 3/8 ready rod to the stock mendle belts.]]> dissidence Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors Sat, 23 Oct 2010 09:18:24 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,64592#msg-64592 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,64592#msg-64592
I'm looking at your blog, I guess you have the extruder stepper already. PWM stands for "pulse width modulation".

It looks like you did a nice neat job on the protoboard wiring.]]> pica Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors Sat, 23 Oct 2010 06:12:38 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,64587#msg-64587 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,64587#msg-64587
So, using 6V motors is just fine. Mine are specified 1.5 Volts and couldn't run better.]]> Traumflug Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors Sat, 23 Oct 2010 02:42:21 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,64571#msg-64571 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,64571,64571#msg-64571 dissidence Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors Fri, 22 Oct 2010 21:01:31 -0400
