turns out I got quite a few of these steppers.
Can I build a MPCNC with these? if so, whats the best board or what would be the best way to continue?
Please forgive me for my bad english.
Those look like NEMA 23 stepper motors. They are physically larger in almost all dimensions than the NEMA 17 motors the MPCNC is designed for. They could probably be made to work, but it would likely involve a fair bit of ingenuity.
Electrically, they work just like the NEMA 17’s and could be driven by any of the usual driver boards (Rambo, Mini-Rambo, RAMPS, etc).
I would probably try to find someone who might be interested in trading motors.
They seem like very expensive motors, but the motors we use are like $10 ea. These will not be better, so it doesn’t seem worth it to me to try to fit them.
I’ll try to find someone thats is willing to trade, but over here is kind of hard to meet people with the same interests… getting new motors would be hard too especially with the exchange rate between mexican peso and dollar…
once the border is open again ill try to get some from ebay… I live in mexico right across the border, I usually get my stuff out of ebay and i order it to be shipped to a POBOX in Arizona but right now I cant go across… I guess I’m going to have to wait
