Tb6600?

[jtar40]

I've still been searching around for drives and Im just sort of curious about the dm542t. Anyone know much about this drive? Is it worth it to invest a bit more money into this drive opposed to buying tb6600's? I know that contradicts a lot of my previous problem (cheapness) but it seems quite a bit more reliable and it's price isn't bad on Amazon.

The DM542T is an older Leadshine drive (IIRC it's the one that Leadshine essentially copied from Geckodrive), and is a good mid-budget drive. They'll certainly be a major improvement over TB6600 drives.

It's worth mention that I'm not sure how many sold are actually genuine Leadshine now, but even the copies are generally still reliable and good performance.

Yes, it is MUCH better than the TB chip based drivers. I use a fake Leadshine, the DQ542MA, and been using those for over two years. They work nice, cool and quiet. Also my speed improved a lot after I started using those on the exact same CNC, only replaced the TB drivers with them. So, if you think those are a bit expensive you can always buy the cheaper DQ542MA, though the DM542T should be even better than that and I would not hesitate buying those today.
