Any ideas where to get stepper motors from? particularly Nema17 with enough holding torque. Preferably with good shipping to europe...

thanks guys smiling smiley

The nanotechs are a bit pricy...

The UK guys look good and they ship to Europe. Nice one nophead! Do you use their motors?

I use an identical spec one from MotionControl in my extruder. The only difference is the Zapp ones have a dual shaft, shorter leads and are half the price.

I have ordered some for my Mendel.

First let me caveat this by saying I have not built my extruder yet. I'm still working on assembling the basic electronics.

But I did find these Lin Engineering steppers:

4218L-01-11

4218L-01D-02

Can anyone confirm/deny that these would work for an extruder?

Edit: Sorry, misread the initial post about shipping to Europe. It seems they will ship to different countries, but I have no knowledge of the shipping cost.

They look like they have enough torque. 0.5Nm at 2A compared to 0.4Nm at 1.7A for the one Adrian uses.
