Help with correct vRef
Back story is I have had my printer for few years and I was told not to worry about setting it with a meter just tune it to where it doesn't skip steps and leave it. I have had nothing but issues with...

The formula is correct. Most people say 80% of max. current is OK, but when your stepper already gets hot at 0.46V there is something wrong with the cooling Is it a direct drive all_metall extruder?...
View ArticleRe: Help with correct vRef
Hey Thanks for your reply. I ended up going with 60% of max on the x and y. 90% of max on the Z (because its driving 2 motors so its more like 45%.) And 75% of max on the E which is a geared nema...

View ArticleStepper motor 0.72 /step
Dear all, Looking for some feedback. How would a stepper motor with 0.72/step be running for a 3 d printer? I mean, is it feasible ? If yes, what stepper driver could run it? Would the popular polulu...
View ArticleRe: Stepper motor 0.72 /step
The usual steppers that can run directly from Pololu style drivers ( or onboard drivers ) are 2-phase motors. Yours is 5-phase, so it would require an external driver that uses step/dir inputs for...

What sort of architecture is the printer? What kind of motors are you using? How much current? What kind of controller board? Power supply voltage?
