Re: Z steppers not working after firmare update
#define DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE {500, 500, 100, 25} That is what I had in config.. i've updated it to: #define DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE {300, 300, 3, 25} // (mm/sec) Sure sounds better now! It doesnt seem...

You should really use twisted shielded pair to wire stepper motors and limit switches. 22-18 gauge should be fine The twisted pair minimizes external effects of high frequency voltage out to motors....

Ribbon cable should be OK for the stepper motors. The important things are to make sure that each phase of the motor uses two adjacent conductors in the cable, and the conductors are thick enough to...

I found the datasheet for the first motor here [cnc25.free.fr]. It says they are rated at 3V 1.2A per phase. That makes them a reasonable match for the drivers used in most 3D printer electronics. The...

You have overlooked the fact that the motors require much less than 12V, and the Duet (like all other 3D printer electronics) uses chopper-type drivers to reduce the 12V (or whatever) supply voltage...
