0.9 per step stepper motors

[BeeAmaker]

Tomorrow I am going to order 12 of these motors, 6 for me and 6 for Brian.
www.omc-stepperonline.com/09deg-nema-17-bipolar-stepper-motor-2a-46ncm-17hm192004s-p-122.html

Anyone else want some? Right now for 12 motors shipping is $53.00 which makes the motors almost $17.00 each.
Still a good deal from what I have found on line.

Let me know!

I just bought myself 4 of these for the next project. www.robotdigg.com/product/241/0.9%C2%B0-Step-Angle-Nema17-48mm-Stepper-Motor

Nice find on that website, I'll have to bookmark that one.

I wonder if the extra price is worth the extra torque.

44 vs 46? Only a 5% difference...

I'll bring mine in for you guys to touch and look at on Thursday.

OK, i'll hold off on ordering, don't think that 5% is worth the extra cost, with shipping it's almost twice the cost.

Jim, I'm placing an order with Robotdigg in the next few days. How long is shipping from them? They are quoting 15-60 days.

[jimustanguitar]

The order I placed last year took about 2 weeks. This one only took 8 days. I was shocked how quick it was.

Were the motor cables ended with connectors or just wire ends?

Loose wires.

Would i gain that much going from 1.8 to .9 degree motors on my Prusa i3 that I'm currently building?

You will double+ your resolution.
Depending on the board you are using.

[purduejay]

I have a Ramps 1.4 board for now but probably upgrade in the future after i have everything built and working. The .9 degree motors will work with my Ramps 1.4, correct? And i would use .9 degree motors on all 3 axis plus my extruder.

[jimustanguitar]

The limit that you approach is the processing power of your control board. This probably won't be an issue on a Cartesian machine, but the Delta's toe the line without upgrading to something like CRAMPS or Smoothie.

Ok. I'm ordering some .9 Degree Stepper Motors early next week. Anyone want some?

[BeeAmaker]

My order from Robot Dig is in, only about a week and a half. not bad at all.
