What motors would you use?
-
I’m putting my 5+ in a clone of an Ender 3/Creality cr-10, I think it’s called. I was going to use the XVico’s motors. But they have no markings. I know they’re bipolar. I think they’re Nema 17’s. Unlike the rest of this machine, I’m guessing they’re cheap. So using them with the 5+ isn’t making sense.
What motors would you use with the 5+ on a 4 motor setup with a 220x220x220 build volume to produce high quality work?
-
I'd bet those motors are pretty close to the Ender 3 motors and would work fine for that size of printer.
-
For Y, I would use a beefy LDO 42sth47-2504ac. And because I am lazy and don't want to think too much about what printer goes where, I'd probably use the same for Z. Maybe find a lighter one for X.
-
@oliof thank you for replying. why the lighter z-motor?
-
@corlissmedia lighter because the X motor gets lifted with the X gantry, reducing weight especially as the xvico pioneer seems to be missing a way to adjust v wheel preload (I. e. contact force with the upright extrusions).
-
@oliof I know what you mean, which is why I installed eccentric nuts on the right gantry this morning.
Thanks for replying.

If you do a dual Z leadscrew mod, you can also just use an LDO 2504 on X.
