A4988 Black edition? (8 replies)

Hey everyone,

I just burnt out a stepper on my RAMPS trying to get my z-axis moving. Rookie mistake, but thankfully the drivers are easy to swap out. What I was wondering is if anyone has tried the "Black Edition" of Pololu's A4988 stepper, as described here. They're an extra $4, but it would be nice if they really are noticeably cooler than the standard ones.


Thanks a bunch,
Chris
