the motors and extruder run at chamber temp plus about 20C
Motors Wantai 42BYGHW609 Stepper current up to 1.6A #define DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE {75, 75, 2.7, 20} #define DEFAULT_MAX_ACCELERATION {750,750,60,2000} #define DEFAULT_ACCELERATION 1000 print speed in Slic3r is 60mm/s infill, 30mm/s perimetersMy new printer has a different motor (slightly higher torque) so it will be interesting to see if I start to see hot motors when I complete that printer.

They softened a bit at 45C and the nuts would never stay tight due to the washers sinking in.

I'm not at all sure there is any point in a heated chamber for printing PLA unless your printer is in a particularly cold room. But it does help to shield the printer from draughts.

I hear this all the time (that other peoples motors run hot), mine never even get warm to the touch.
