Look at the holding torque... You want as much as possible in the nema 17
form factor.  Its more for the extruder, but better to buy all the motors
the same.  Price wise its not much difference

The link above is what I am using in mine... No probs

Trying to print some parts as we speak.  Already made some idlers for the X
and y axis.  I am updating the GOSHG site as I go...

Ok, I am defeated.

I have found a few motors,


Think this one is not good enough?

I think this one will do, it does seem like over kill.

Or we could get the whole kit.

tml

seems like a good deal? By the time we have bought all the bits?

What do people think.

p.s. we have another meet up this Thursday.

thanks

kieran
