  2. Ah, the ubiquitous TB6560 3-axis board from eBay... If you haven't already, you might want to search for TB6560 and look at other threads related to these boards...

    The motors make useful hand warmers this time of year :-)

    Mine run on the edge of too hot to touch and I haven't had any problems yet - 80 degrees C above ambient seems a common maximum.

    hahahah!!! nice one chris... its ages since i was in that position watching them motors turn on the road runner g-code
    it was all magical mystical shit to me (still is a bit)
    iv got the 5 axis version of your board, my motors are a bit bigger than yours and dont really get hot at all on 24v, iv heard plenty of people reporting how hot the motors get, i think in some cases its pretty normal

  7. What motors are those Chris?

    I hope not... 85degC absolute case temp is the maximum recommended temp you should run a stepper at - higher than that and you risk internal breakdown and demagnetisation.... remember inside its going to be a lot hotter!

    an 85degC case is too hot to touch for most people. Maplin do a cheap £19 multimeter with a temp probe thats a useful bit of kit for playing with electrics...
