Those back in the day would've cost me about £7 so you're right, cheap as dirt for hobbyists :)
    I'm going to buy 4 AM882H and a 60v power supply when I finish my build but at moment finishing the Z axis and mounts seem to be more important.

    But now you can buy 5*DRV8825 for £7 from china delivered which is crazy.

    If you didn't buy it from China the company you bought it from did ;)
