Unlike other motors it is common to overvolt steppers.  as a rule of thumb 12 volts is about the minimum you should run on that motor.  the sd only runs 12v you should be fine.

Max voltage  = Inductance in milihenries  x 32

There is no reason you could not use this motor on a 24 volt system if the board and drivers can handle it.

I'm ready to try replacing the extruder with a 400 step/rev part (this sounds easier than soldering a new 1/32 driver onto the driver board).

Can someone recommend a part, or define the key specs?  I saw a post that pointed to Sparkfun.  The 42BYGHM809 stepper motor  (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10846 ) is the right physical size, but the 3V spec seems low, based on other forum discussions.

Any suggestions?
