      I made myself a CNC and bought a stepper motor on steppermotor. After about 1 hour of using my engine
      It was so hot I couldn't bear to put my hand on the engine.
      What should I do to prevent the engine from overheating?
      If anyone has encountered this problem, I would like to hear their opinion.
      We are waiting for an answer.

        @Sullivan lower the stepper current or add cooling

          What are the specs of the motor, and what current are you sending it? Which Duet board?
