Config.g Stepper Motor
-
Hello! I am using the 03-H5210-4240 / NEMA17 / Flansch 42mm / 1A / 51 Ncm stepper motors and would now like to create them in config.g. However, I do not know which values I have to enter. Can someone please help me with this?

@jason0607 you only need to really know the steps per mm (which come from the mechanics) and the driver current. The rest of things like acceleration, jerk and max speed I would start off with the configuration tool values as they're quite conservative.
For current, the rule of thumb is 80% of max so set it to 800ma -
@jason0607 using the EMF calculator, if they're fitted to X or Y on a cartesian printer, assuming you'll be using 24v, the fastest you will be able to go is 420mm/s, although torque will start to drop off above 200mm/s
for Z, you should be able to go up to 8mm/s but torque will start to drop off above 4mm/s
