    Hi, folks. I have hot pots! After maybe towards an hour, my stepper motors overheat. They can get to 80+ degrees C! (useful to light my cigarettes from..;)
    I'm using that blasted TB6560 blue Chinese board (with NEMA 17's on a Zen 6x6 router), and was wondering if setting the DIP switches to a lower amperage might help? I'm running it at 15v, and it sucks (the board) 1.5A max on a typical cut.
    On startup, all motors run fine, with no untoward noises.
    TIA,
