Sorry, I think this is a very basic question but one I haven't found an answer to yet.
I was thinking of using this motor (17HS19-1684S) for all but the extruder on the X carriage. And I thought to use this motor (17HS15-0404S) as the extruder motor because it is considerably lighter. But it draws 0.4A while other motor draws 1.68A. Can these two motors be run at the same time off the same RAMPS. 1.4? And if they could, is a motor with 40Ncm (56.7oz.in) holding torque strong enough to turn a Wades small gear which turns the big Wades gear?
Thanks for any help
