I have been searching high and low for a RepRap stepper motor driver, version 1.2 through 3.3 (or the components for a v. 2.3), but everywhere I've found any, I've had to pay with PayPal, which is completely and frustratingly broken for me. Does anybody have one lying around they would be willing to sell me? I live in Germany, so within EU would be best.

Thanks

Just for fun I've excerpted a single stepper driver from Generation 7 Electronics. It allows you to plug in a Pololu, so you get (optional) microstepping on your Gen3.

If you also want me to manufacture them, I can make the PCBs for EUR 5.- each plus EUR 2.- shipping. Components would be another EUR 3.-/ea.

Thank you! So does this require a Pololu, or is that optional? I'm surprised that the components can be that cheap, I've been looking at a lot more for the older designs.

Nevermind the Pololu, it's easy to get after all. I'll take 3 (so you don't have to do a singular job, and so I have something for playing with), including components.

Thanks,
