Topic: Need better stepper motor controller
I have 2 generic controllers with no name so i dont know what they are.
i also tried 4-Layer Substrate MKS LV8729 and 3D MKS TMC2208
Ordered DRV8825 to try.
Same problem for all. Overheating and loosing steps.
If i dial the potentiometer down, motor will skip due to low torque.
If i dial it up enough to make it work properly, controller gets hot and starts to skip steps. Motor also gets got and starts to skip on top of that as well.
I ordered E3D stepper motor 26mm and installed Titan extruder for which that motor was intended but same problem.
Its just not powerful enough to get print anywhere faster then 50mm/s
I dont want to install water cooler to cool the controller nor do i want to start worrying about cooling the darn motor its self.
Are you telling me that 42mm standard stepper motor is the only way to go ?
I am sick of wasting money for "best" E3D parts that do not perform. They were no different then Chinese aftermarket.
Thanks !
