Stepper driver and motors still relevant?
November 30, 2020 06:47PM
I'm designing a corexy with a 300mm x 300mm printable area. I remembered I had a driver/motor package stashed away from a long time ago that I was going to use for a CNC router. I have 3x KL23H2100-35-4B motors, a Gecko G540, and a 48V power suppy sitting here doing nothing. It's been a lot of years since I bought this so I assume much has changed since these were new. Any forseeable issues using this kit?

Reprap firmware still use step/direction for stepper motors.

So these should still work fine.

Way overkill for a 3d printer though...

NEMA-23 motors, especially relatively large ones like that, tend to be noisy. They will have more than enough torque to move a 3D printer mechanism around.
