So it looks like I'm going to have to find some different motors that are in the range of 0.5 to 1.0 amps.
Could you explain how to calculate what volts to run a x volt rated stepper motor?
That'd be very helpful thanks :)
Perhaps it would be easier to give me some links to do some further reading instead of typing it all up.
The reason I wanted powerful motors is I want to be able to move the head of the rostock I'm building pretty fast but not too fast. If a smaller motor would do that just fine then I'm happy :)
To quote Nophead: "We normally use 2.8V motors on 12V." [forums.reprap.org]
So he's running his 2.8v motors on 12v. That contradicts what you said earlier about needing to use 8v. ??? :confused:
