Bojan and anyone else using a 3D printer
What is a good (and not too expensive) one? I've got no idea
Looking at building case, stepper brackets for this build - and for other stuff. So might need one that does ABS & PLA?

Steppers are 400spr, 1.4A (also from ebay)
To couple the motor directly to worm is a bit too rough IMO.. so maybe you should go with finer microsteps.... 64 perhaps? (A4988 has 16 microsteps), then it will be similar to mine.
Reduction with timing belt is not prohibitive, only couple of $$ more (thanks to 3D printer parts from China). |
