Understand exactly. Thank you very much for all your help! Great insight on the use of bearings to support the weight!!!by alt3dtech - RAMPS Electronics
Re: Nema 34 steppers for 3d printer questions - 12 years ago
Great Feedback! I am looking to use two extruders. Total weight of the head will only be 1 to 1 1/2 lbs. We are looking to print at about 150mm / sec max. I am looking to use smaller nema 23 frame motors to drive the head. You are correct that the z will only move very little at a time. I was looking to use the rumba controller due to multiple extruder capability. The thought was that dueby alt3dtech - RAMPS Electronics

Thank you for the response! I am looking at using two 1600oz nema 34's for the z (vertical axis). I am looking to use smaller nema 23's to move the x and y axis. The reason for this is that this will be a really large printer (4ft^3 build area) and I want to be sure I can support the weight on the build platform.

Nema 34 steppers for 3d printer questions - 12 years ago
I am building a 3d printer and would like to use nema 34's. What is the best option for electronics for these motors? 1. Industrial motor drivers and ramps or rumba? Not sure if these can be used together. 2. Powerlolu motor drivers and ramps or rumba? Thanks!by alt3dtech - RAMPS Electronics
