Re: Stepper motor 6 pin locking female plug
Well there's your answer. The ones you bought weren't 2mm but 2.5mm pitch. They are JST-XH series, sadly JST make loads which look the same in pictures but are incompatible. Sadly I don't think your...

Thanks. Id appreciate that. I ordeRed the first lot as i read elsewhere the rc crowd used the 2mm ones for charging/balancing battery packs. Made an asumption these were 2mm. now i look at the add...
View ArticleShould I oil stepper motors?
Just wondering - I have the usual set of NEMA17 stepper motors on my Prusa i3, and 4 others on a delta I'm currently building. Should I lubricate them now and again? And, if so, where, and how much?

Right, I think we've settled on it being JST-PH6. I borrowed a plug to check against my printer but it's been in full use this evening so I haven't had chance to take it apart to check - sorry. You...

You could connect the motors in 2 chains, each with 2 in series, then connect the 2 chains in parallel. Or use a 24V supply (if your printer electronics can handle it) and connect all 4 motors in series.

View ArticleRe: technical issue on paralleling 4 z-azis stepper motors
With 2.8V 1.68A motors and a 24V PSU, connecting all 4 Z motors in series should work well, and better than a series/parallel combination. You will probably run your motors at 1.2A or less, much more...

hi everyone i wonder what is the cheapest alternative to a4988 and drv4825 which didn't required manual adjusting to use with nema 17 1,2a stepper thanks fabrice
View ArticleRe: alternative to a4988 and drv8825
The A4982/A4988 family and the drv8825 can be driven from a DAC or digipot to avoid the need for manual adjustment. Both the Duet and the Smoothieboard electronics use A4982 drivers driven in this way.
