@davmj you have the techzone electronics talking with replicatorG firmware reliably? what firmware did you use for the boards? what settings did you use for your connection? are you using the extruder board to drive your extruder or are you using an external driver? sorry if i sound quizzical, ive been trying to get the machine to talk to replicatorg with an external stepper controller foreverby dbhellmith - General
I am currently using the lazer cut Mendel form tech zone. i have the xy and z axis moving in replicatorg and have calibrated them. i am trying to get my extruder finished but the h bridge chip overheats. i am using a stepper motor on wades gearbox for extrusion. I have a spare stepper motor board as well but am unable to get that to move as opposed to the extruder stepper. I have had the most luby dbhellmith - Reprappers
I am currently looking for which stepper motor to get for my reprap. My problem is that apart from knowing it needs to be a NEMA 14 or 17 or 23 (I am choosing nema 17) not much other information can be found. for example would this be ok stepper 6 wires even with 6 wires? or should it be something like also 6 wire or 4 wire because it seems i am able to get the 6 wire slightly cheaper then theby dbhellmith - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
