Hot Stepper Motor Drivers
-
Hi Yesterday I finnished my delta printer assambly.When I testing sensorles homing I realized stepper motor drivers getting hot (5 minutess worked and it reached up to 55 degrees Celsius)
is it normal ?
I using Duet Wife and here is my stepper motors link:

How did you measure the stepper driver temperature?
55C is not especially hot for stepper driver chips. They produce an over-temperature warning at about 100C and shut down at about 130C.
