Hot stepper's

[timothysvec]

Greetings, OK, I just fired up the printer. I did the config that was posted on this board for the 4 axis board. My steppers are a lot hotter than the one's that I have for my taig mill (nema 23's) How hot is to hot? I can still touch them but they are hot to touch. and I'm a cook who touches hot metal allot.

They are supposed to get too hot to touch even, It is perfectly normal

Thanks Tom. Just one more thing. what are you running on your step's per mm on x y z and a?

[tom10122]

I think my x,y is 50 and my z is 100 But everyone's will be different. You need to test the settings you have and adjust accordingly, I'm also using EMC2 which differs from Mach3 so yours will be different
