So, I've decided to build my own 3d-printer from parts and use Ultimaker 2 as a base (github). I'm not planning to modify the original design too much but some improvements/changes I'd like to make. One is the XY-steppers: I'll use 0.9 deg steppers instead of 1.8 degs. I'm just wondering which ones would be good. I think Ultimaker 2 uses SY42STH38-1684A steppers (link) for x and y and I've thought to replace them with these option1 or these option2. I think both could work but the larger ones would require some modifications to the printer as the space is limited. Also I'm not sure if the specs of either of the steppers are suitable... What do you think? I would really appreciate some help. :)
