Hi all! I've found nema 17 (17hs2408) for a very good price, these are the details: Step Angle ( 。): 1.8。 Motor Length (mm): 28mm Rated current (A): 0.6 A Phase Resistance (Ω): 8 Ω Phase Inductance...
View ArticleRe: 17hs2408 are too weak?
I'm no expert on the Prusa i3 in particular, however I do think that the torque of that motor is rather low for a 3D printer unless you can accept lower than normal accelerations. Also, the phase...
View ArticleRe: 17hs2408 are too weak?
They should be sufficient for the Z axis, but for X and Y they'll allow sub-par acceleration, only.

FYI! most prusa i3 are same in the way of builds, just need different settings for different parts, most guides should be fine!

Traditional transitors, or BJT or newer IGBT are devices which take input of current, meaning their function is current allowed at CE is = gain * Ibase. So are current devices, their output depends on...

QuoteSo imo traditional transistors and mosfets are quite fundamentally different.I didn't say they weren't different. BJT, IGBT, and MOSFET all have a T in their name, because they are all still...
View ArticleRe: Switching heat bed
BJTs can work good as amplifiers because their function is linear, the only factor is gain and it has no exponent, and this function is suitable for amplification. So traditional transistors replaced...

Have you measured the voltage across the terminals of the heated bed when it is on? The first thing to check is that you really are getting close to 12V there. A simple way of getting more power to...

You can put the electronics under the bed if it fits. Otherwise, see the photo at the end of [miscsolutions.wordpress.com] too see how I organised my wiring. The excess wire length is bundled and...
