    Re: best Auto lube pumps?

    It's been about 2yrs since I last fit one but I'm sure you can get one or config it for a One-shot setup, where you pulse it and it pumps for a set time. You don't have to use the auto timer option....

    From what I remember, you can trace the step/dir control pins back to the original controller chip.

    However, they are 80s technology, and I don't think it would be worth the hassle. Even a couple...

    24v better all round. My printer was originally 12v, they later changed newer models over to 24v and I upgraded - steppers happier, bed heats up much faster, hot end a bit faster.
