Topic: X motor compatible with solidoodle 4

Hi everyone, i bought like a month ago a solidoodle 4 and it was working fine but yesterday the x motor stopped working normally, making an ugly noise and moving ramdomly, my first tough was to check the belt... finally i unmounted the motor and proved it, the problem was that the FOUR cables are broken, i opened the motor and welded again the cables, the motor worked fine for a couple of minutes....

i'm not an electronic specialist but i know the very very basics, i can't wait to solidoodle to send me the replacement motor cause i really need to finish a job in the printer, i need to found a compatible motor that can purchase in my city. Could anyone tellme what motors are compatible? or what characteristics i need to focus on?

Thanks in advanced.

I mean, there's a sticker right on the side of the motor. Did you try googling?
