Extruder Motor Current Setting
November 10, 2014 03:07AM
Hi all,

If I understood that correctly, the extruder motor needs a little bit more current than the X, Y and Z motors. Following what I found I set all the Pololu Drivers to a voltage of 0.41 volts so that it delivers aprox 1A of current. However I still don't know how much current the extruder motor needs to work accuratelly. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Like every motor. As much as necessary and as little as possible.

The extruder should be fine at that voltage.
