Title: Is it worth upgrading stepper motors from 76oz/in to 92oz/in?
Post by: anna22 on March 26, 2024, 11:59:15 PM

Is it worth upgrading the stepper motor in the MPCNC from 76 oz/in in the kit to 92 oz/in? This is the highest NEMA 17 torque I could find: https://www.oyostepper.de/goods-53-Nema-17-Schrittmotor-Bipolar-18-Grad-65Ncm-21A-336V-4-Dr%C3%A4hte-Hybrid-Schrittmotor.html
What advantage would I have? At the moment I can easily get the steppers to slip by pulling hard on the gantry, but I haven't seen any slipping while cutting yet.
Just wondering if anyone has an idea...
