        <title>EBAY Steppers</title>
        <description> Hello all, 
I&#039;m in the process of pricing out a 3d printer. I&#039;ve found some steppers on ebay for what I think is a good price. I&#039;ve seen several postings like this or this. Will either of those motors work?

Thanks

            <description><![CDATA[ According to the Prusa Mendel parts list the extruder stepper should be at least 40Ncm. The strongest motors in the first post are 33.5oz/in, which I make to be 24Ncm. Would this not be too weak for the extruder at least?]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Zimtower's comment is overereaching a bit.  Tony is one of the sellers pointed to in the first post.  I know him personally, and have used and tested all of the motors he tags with REPRAP.  They are quiet, and strong.  You won't likely find a better price that his.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I think I may have been caught with too small a motors for torque<br />
and inertia. I am building with 8mm linear bearings so they may<br />
be o'k.<br />
<br />
Seeing most of the set-ups I think 1.4 - 2 amp motors are requitred<br />
with NEMA17 frames about 40mm long.<br />
<br />
I understand the driver boards are  build for 2.5 amp max.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Those are definitely cheaper than new. Another user recommended SparkFun item ROB-10846. I bought them for my Prusa but haven't completely finished yet to say how well they work because I ended up leaving out some parts in my initial order and had to have one of the steppers replaced because it arrived with a bent arbor.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Look very similar to mine and should be ok.<br />
<br />
That price is good.<br />
<br />
You will only need the 4 inner wires so cut off the 2 outer wires altogether when you connect your extension wires to your electronics.]]></description>
