Stepper motor and driver details

[Aiph5u (Aiph5u (not affiliated with Onefinity))]

Hey Chris,

@SHW

Is there a larger stepper motor available that uses the same footprint?

A lot. (of steppers with the same footprint are available on the market). The footprint is NEMA 23.

@SHW

Just curious as no one seems to complain about the standard as supplied stepper motor.

Do you think they should?

@Aiph5u

As for the performance of the stock stepper, I don’t think the Onefinity CNC manufacturer would have released the 80 mm mount without thoroughly testing the machine with a 80 mm spindle, there was too much demand for it to deceive buyers with a underdimensioned stepper. They stated repeatedly that they see no reason for a stronger Z stepper.
