I think that is about the same holding torque at the original. ~1.4 kg/cm. check the wiki for replacement hardware suggestions though.

SD3 w/ mods:
Glass bed with QU-BD heat pad upgrade, threadless ballscrew w/ 8mm smooth rod, spectra line belt replacement, lawsy MK5 extruder, Lawsy replacement carriage, E3D hotend, Ramps 1.4 w/ reprap discount controller, DRV8825 drivers, 12v 30A PS, Acrylic case, Overkill Y-idlers, Filament alarm, Extruder fan + more.

From the WIKI

Motors
Conventional NEMA-17 motors (as used in most RepRaps) are the Y, Z and extruder motors
Model confirmed to be working: NEMA 17 Stepper Motor 4.5kg*cm from https://store.qu-bd.com
The X motor is a NEMA-14

Can anyone else help? What is the kg holding power of the X stepper.

If someone wants to update the wiki with model numbers of these that would be great. I am hitting the road as we speak so I won't be able to do it for another 4 hours or so.

Re: X stepper replacement

I updated the wiki. I didn't know I could create an account and do it!

Re: X stepper replacement

HAHA! After I updated the Wiki I noticed I ordered the 1kg one instead of the 1.4kg from polulu. Oh man..... Think that will work or should I order another one?

Re: X stepper replacement

The stock X stepper is quite powerful for its size. It's easy to purchase a replacement that isn't quite as good. Hopefully your new one can cut it.
