Re: 3D Printer Help

UPDATE: all motors turn. Used an old power supply to give them 5vlts @ ?amps. They turned and I could not hold them back with my hands. It was very slow, but it was constant no matter what torque was put on them. I am still working on how to read a 7 pin encoder. Also working on how to work a “Z” axis into the design.
I am thinking of just using this power supply because it is rack mountable. And it is constant.

If anyone is interested feel free to ask questions.
