3D Printer extruder stepper motor
Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2014 5:03 pm
Hello all,
I have a question about the MK8 extruder.
The item description says that the stepper motor runs at 6 Volts. But the problem is that all my other steppers are running on 12 Volts. So i would overload the setepper for the extruder and might damige it. i"m using RAMPS 1.4. Is the best solution to disassemble it and replace it with a 12Volt stepper motor? Or can i might hack RAMPS 1.4. to Let one stepper to run at 6 Volts.
Thanks for any anwsers!
