Re: Cable Length for Z Axis Steepers - 9 years ago
Thanks David, that is what I was hoping for. I expect one cable to become approximately 6 inches and the other to be probably 18 at most. My biggest concern is the fact that this will result in one being approx 3 times longer than the other. I was thinking that at these lengths there would not be enough difference to make any real effect but wanted to get some opinions from people who know bby Stormbringer - Mechanics
Cable Length for Z Axis Steepers - 9 years ago
Hi all, Firstly sorry if this has already been asked. I am wondering if I can use different length cables for my Z axis steppers, NEMA 17s if that makes any difference. This is coming from me upgrading from an acrylic frame to a p3steel and thought whilst in the process of building I may as well make my cable runs as tidy as possible whilst still being practical. Thanks for any thoughts or anby Stormbringer - Mechanics
