Re: Nema 17 motor wires
Thanks for the wiki link. Just did not want to damage the motor by putting wires in a random order.
View ArticleSilent StepStick What Controller
I am looking into the Silent StepStick Stepper Motor Drivers and was wondering; does anyone have any experience of them? What controller would be the best to use for these on a delta machine?

They never did bring this to market and I wrote to them asking recently. You can't even get them to custom cut for you their motor + 5mm either nor will they sell just the 5mm ACME. :(

One would think different, but i definitaley see the difference between 32 and 16 microsteps in terms of print quality. When looking at a flat wall my extruder (BulldogXL/E3D V6) has much less...
View ArticleRe: DRV8825 vs TMC2100 vs THB6128
Keep in mind when you go to higher microstepping ratios torque goes down and your print speed may have to drop because the controller has limited steps per sec. Arduino/RAMPS can only spit out 40k...
View ArticleRe: DRV8825 vs TMC2100 vs THB6128
If I understood correctly, the TMC2100 is actually a hybrid between 16 and 256µSteps/Step. When even 8-Bit electronics give out 1 step as set with the M1,M2,M3 Jumpers to 1/16th microstepping the...

I am currently sourcing stepper motors for my prusa i3. Is this motor ok? The holding torque looks alright (5.0kg/cm) but the motor is short length is only 34mm. Is it fine?

View ArticleRe: Stepper jams/sticks
will overheating cause them to jam or stick? Or is the voltage basically 'locking' the stepper magnetically? They don't seem to be overheating (staying in the 45c range)
View ArticleRe: Stepper jams/sticks
Overheating might possibly cause them to stick because of thermal expansion, but I don't know if that actually happens or not. The current only locks the stepper magnetically in the sense that it...

I recommend to use the same motors for x, y and z axis. You can look for them on ebay. There you will find offers with a bundle of 4 or 5 stepper motors relatively cheap. The only thing important for...
View ArticleRe: choice of stepper motors
Motor sizes are determined by torque required to move their load and the way you want to move it. For a given load, higher acceleration means higher torque is required. You can figure out...

View ArticleRe: Stepper Motor Angle and Time Delay
They answer is yes it is possible and relatively easy if you have a driver with step and direction inputs. You simply have to pulse the step input with the correct delay between pulses. If it is a...

View ArticleRe: DRV8825 vs TMC2100 vs THB6128
I don't have any of these new drivers but I assume you can adjust the current to the steppers. If so, what is the current you have set for your steppers? What was it previously set to with the DRV8825's?
