So I'm building my first reprap (a mendel90), I've ended up salvaging parts from all over, many from a failure of a kickstarter that I supported, and I'm trying to make things work. I have three 0.9 degree stepper motors already, but searching for 1-2 more I've noticed the 0.9 seem harder to find and more expensive, and based on what I read, when you get microstepping involved, you don't necessarily gain much using 0.9 degree steppers. So I'm wondering if I'm stuck using 0.9 steppers on everything, or if I could combine them with 1.8 degree steppers. I'm wondering not only if its "possible", but if its easy to do without adding extra headaches (because if its too big of a headache, I'd just buy all new 1.8 steppers, rather than deal with frustration).
Also I have a PG35L-048 "permanent magnet stepper with gearbox". Wondering if I can use this for the hotend, and expect good results, or if I'd be better off just buying another stepper motor, either 1.8 or 0.9.
Thanks.
