Thanks for the input guys, much appriciated Not looking to build a all singing and dancing bot just something that will give resanable results. The bed will be Z axis only with 2 motors. Was thinking along the lines off a sq frame with a 240v heating pad (with ssr) suspended on wires with a glass bed sat on the frame to keep the weight downby Suggy - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
Ok thanks for the info I now understand So 2.8v 1.68a 45Ncm stepper would be fine to run on 12v or would 2.8v 2a 59Ncm be better Build plate will be between 300mm x 300mm to 400mm x 400mm with a build height of around 700mmby Suggy - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
Intrested in the MightyFan but the postage is nearly the price of the board UKby Suggy - For Sale
one solution would to use 4 pin stackable through pin connectors lifting the board up so the other connectors fit under the boardby Suggy - For Sale
Forgive me but I don't understand 2-4 times rated voltage of what? at a guess its the power supply voltage?by Suggy - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
and would that be any voltage up to 12vby Suggy - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
Running a ramps 1.4 with A4988 drivers powered by 27amp power supply. What is the recommended motors to use with this setup ? Volts ? and amps ? If you recommend a different driver please do Thanks for lookingby Suggy - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
Is it possible to connect a touch screen LCD to a ramps 1.4 If so did it run the encoder ?by Suggy - RAMPS Electronics
Soz for that. new to this stuff. All I know is that in order to get my sain???? working I have to import the fileby Suggy - RAMPS Electronics
Thanks Just been surfing and found a 750w pc power supply and the 12v rail is 37a at a bargain price would this be suitable ?by Suggy - RAMPS Electronics
Thanks for the reply. I take it its still safe to connect my pc with the ramps powerd upby Suggy - RAMPS Electronics
Morning all. Please forgive me if this has been asked before but I cannot find an answer I have a CTC printer but I am making my own (I find making stuff myself somewhat rewarding) Don't have all the items yet but have started with the brains. I will be using a Arduino mega2560 and a RAMPS 1.4 (from the bay) and a smart controller with LCD but I have concerns about the ramps, inperlicular theby Suggy - RAMPS Electronics
Have you put imported the U8glib file in to Arduino IDE ? and reloaded the firmware to the mega2560by Suggy - RAMPS Electronics
