Topic: Stepper motor for the extruder
Sup guys!
Where can i bought the right steper motor ( mine broke ) for the extruder ?
Thanks!
Re: Stepper motor for the extruder
There are several other things that can make a motor fail to operate, so if you are not sure it's the stepper it might be worth troubleshooting on the forum a little. I'm not familiar with the SDP but I suppose it's a NEMA 17 motor.
SD2 Sanguinololu 1.3a atmega1284p, wood platform, lawsy's carriages, braided fishing line, pallet wood overhead spool mount, carboard/magnet enclosure, glass bed, E3D v6, bed levelling knobs, extended z-stop, 25A DC-DC SSR for bed heater, everything fixed to the SD2 frame, marlin firmware with some adjustments and extra failsafes enabled. I'll never give up on you, little printer that could(n't)!
Re: Stepper motor for the extruder
Yes pretty sure this is it, i'v got another ( a nema 17 indeed ) and it work on it, but he over heat ( i know it can be hot, but THIS is clearly too much) as hell, clearly the model i have don't fit, maybe too much Volt, so i thought maybe someone know the spec of the motor i should buy?

You have to adjust the voltage at the stepper driver.. This part of tuning any printer and should be verified before use. Motors even under heavy use should get very warm but not to the point that only a second or less of contact causes discomfort. You should research setting vref on stepper drivers and make sure it is correct.

Re: Stepper motor for the extruder
OP check out this motor http://us.stepperonline.com/nema-17-bip … -p-14.html
It weighs more than your current E motor, but has more torque. Unless you plan on breaking the sound barrier during print jobs, it will work just fine.
To add to what Carl said about heat, I mostly agree. 1.8deg motors should not get that hot. .9deg motors on the otherhand...

Re: Stepper motor for the extruder
Thanks for your help, fast and useful as always 
.
The first steppermotor broke because of a shotcut on the pins while it was moving -_-'.
I had this one hanging arround, indeed a 1.8deg but smaller frame and weight.

But yes i know it dont fit anyways and as i don't really know about tuning the Voltage, i'll go for your recommendation , but just to be sure, it say " 12V " in the descrition but in the spec it says it works from "12 to 24V" ( and if i'm correct the right voltage for the press is 24v, isn't it). Will it work anyway?
Thanks you both!

VREF and operating voltage are not the same thing. VREF has more to do with the amount of current the motor can use. They will use all you can ffed them to the point of burning up. So you have to limit them with just enough to do the job. Getting too hot is always a sign of over current or binding.

Re: Stepper motor for the extruder
MMhhhh, i think i understand, way clearer now! And is the voltage output is lock by the motherboard or can i change it by touching the firmware ? ( I would prefer not to mess with it i admit )
Going to investigate about that, thanks!
Re: Stepper motor for the extruder
Vref adjustment is well discussed in earlier posts. Please search the message board for directions.
