Root797756y@GyroGearloose Pololu steppers are incredible. Definitely recommend.
They're the standard in a lot of 3d printers, etc. Durable, high quality, and a decent price (last I looked). I think even @Condor would approve of them. -
@Root Just found out the A4988 drivers cause of you, thanks :D
Already ordered 4 NEMAs 17 :D they look the same, more or less. but I bought a €6 week ones, the better ones go up to €20 ... -
Root797756y@GyroGearloose Yeah, the high-rated purple (black?) ones are definitely more pricey. Probably excessive for your project, though?
Glad I could help 😊 -
Pololu steppers are EXPENSIVE.
Go on aliexpress and buy 1 set of nema steppers, if i remember corectly they cost ~5$ per stepper.
They work nicely, i have them in my cnc. -
Damit you were asking for drivers not steppers!
Aliexpress has A4988 for 0.5$ a piece. MUCH cheaper than polulu -
@Root Well, I'll be making several CNCs, from small wood ones to big metal ones...
I might even sell some then, to make some cash. -
@kunashe Dude... you really, really don't want a video...
The steppers are so slow that I had to draw a line and stick my eyes in it to watch it moving...
Until I get good motors it's more of an idea than a product... -
@Gregozor2121 I got my A4988's from AliExpress lol. And I did ment steppers, but I'll take any information I get.
Dude, if you find that price again please send the link, the cheapest ones I saw with enough power was €6 each... -
What do you guys recommend for me to send g-code to the CNC? Since I'm using two ULN2003A as drivers and 2 28BYJ-48 Stepper Motors.
-
Root797756y@Gregozor2121 You can of course find super cheap versions of everything. Just be sure to compare their quality. Especially if they're 1/12th the price!

I finally did it. Finally had the energy to do... One axis for my CNC lol.
It works perfectly.
But the 28BYJ-48 are so slowwww.
- One Arduino Uno
- Two 28BYJ-48 with Uln2003A controllers (Y is already programmed)
- One joystick.
