Hi guys,
Repraps have recently caught my eye and I have been planning to build one soon.
So for now I have been furiously sourcing for parts.
I plan on building a standard size (240mm x 600mm) Kossel Mini with 2020 rails and so far the search for parts have been going well except for the steppers.
I've been told to avoid "cheap" steppers but to be honest, I dont really know the definition of "cheap" for NEMA 17 steppers.
I have been searching through aliexpress and ebay for possible options (preferrable those offering free shipping to my place as shipping services costs a bomb)
So far I have come across the 17HS4401, which is this: 17HS4401
and also the , which is this: 42SHD0217-24B
I am looking to purchase the first one, however I am not really sure about the holding torque, which is rated at 40N.cm, which seems quite low.
Do you think I can get away with purchasing the 17HS4401?
Thank you for your help
Cheers! :)
