Great information - thank you!
The machine is in the design stage and I'm not yet able to make the final weight calculations for the X and Y axes. I am trying to balance their weights as much as possible. If there is little weight benefit from using the smaller motor on the extruder the machine will still benefit from the shorter motor depth.
It's a modified Wades style geared extruder so torque from the smaller motor should be OK. All motors except the extruder will be the same. Just the extruder motor will be a smaller size.
I will order these motors.
Thanks again,
Garry
