Re: Which stepper to buy: 68oz 0.9degrees or 70oz 1.8degrees - 11 years ago
No offence uncle_bob but are you sure you are right? You do know that when the motor is rated at 2.5Amps its not magically going to suck 2.5Amps out of a 2Amp stepper driver. Or is it? Actually its what I'm trying to find out.. EDIT:Ah but that is what the adjustable pot on the driver is for, its for determining how much power it will give the motor. So it should be ok. Should be mmm ^ ^ Adviby TheTechnicalNoob - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors

I understood its good to have a motor with more amps than your driver, that way the motor is never loaded to its full power meaning you can't overheat the motor right? The drivers have overheat protection so should be fine I figured.. My power supply is adjustable from 13v to 17 so I'll be running it somewhere in that range. Why exactly would it not make the driver happy? Perhaps a better questby TheTechnicalNoob - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors

I've been looking at 3d printing for a while now and finaly decided to take the leap and get into it (Can't wait!!!! ). I'm looking at building the Rostock: The build platform isn't exactly large so I think I'll scale the build platform up from 200mm x 200mm to something around 350mm x 350mm. We'll see when we get there I'm stuck on a buying decision: I don't know which motor to get. Here'sby TheTechnicalNoob - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
