Come on man. Do a *little* legwork.

Take the Y-stepper for example: Pull the model number, google it. Check the specs, holding torque: 2.2kg-cm.

Do the same with the rest. Nothing changes in software as long as you use the same step angle.

Here's your homework: make the right up better. People have helped you, do your part.

My motors have not gone out yet but im wanting to have some spares on hand. What do i need for that. Are there any motors that are an easy upgrade to the current ones? If im not mistaken i think they are all NEMA 14 stock correct? If there are any mods that need done a link or explanation of how/what do to would be great. Mechanically i can handle the mod but in the software i am completely new and lost.

Thanks
