Great! Now my 3d-printer is not far from finished. :D Anyway, I have a further question: would this be a good choice for the z-axis? Would it work well with Smoothie/Duet? I would also appreciate some recommendations for the extruder stepper (I'll be using bowden extruder with 1.75mm filament). Thanks again! :)
I can't advise you on the mechanics, but in electrical terms that motor is fine for the Duet, Smoothie and most other electronics.
For the extruder, I recommend using a gear ratio of between 3:1 and 5:1 with 1.75mm filament, and a stepper motor with 20 to 30 Ncm holding torque at full current, with a current rating in the range 1.2 to 1.7A (or 1.2 to 2.0A if using the Duet WiFi). I use JK42HS34-1334 motors and an extruder gear ratio of 34:11.
