Hi all
First question I have several steppers of Minebea manufactuer labeled
17PM-K019-06VS
3.4 volt
0.8amp
6 wire
can anyone tell me if these motors are any use for a Mendal build as I cannot find any spec on the web.
They were used in photocopiers.
thanks in advance
Bob

All the specs you've listed look good, and should work fine. There are two vital numbers missing though.

What size are these steppers? 1.7" between bolts (indicating a nema 17 size) or 2.3" (indicating a nema 23 size) or what?

How much torque are they rated at? They're almost certain to be strong enough for the axises. The extruder requires a little stronger motor, and a randomly selected nema 17 motor has, I think, about a 50/50 chance of being strong enough to use for the extruder. (that last bit is just a guess)

Thanks for the reply John the motors are 17's.
I'll give them a try when my bits arrive.
Thanks
