RAMPS with different motors.
May 25, 2014 11:58AM
Hi, guys. I'm currently making my first Reprap(prusa I3) And I can't find some information.
Please, help me to find out is it ok, to use Nema 17 stepper motors with different current(1,8A, 2A, 1.3A) in one reprap or i need completely simmilar stepper motors?

Thanks for your answer!

Different motors aren't a huge problem. The only thing to watch out for is if you're using a design with two Z steppers connected to one controller, you probably want them to be identical, otherwise one will be underpowered and one might overheat. As long as you make sure each controller is properly tuned for its individual motor, you're set!
