Earthing?

[Clive S]

Thanks Clive.

The 3.1Nm motor would draw a maximum of 4.2A, but we all know that in reality it's probably about half of that anyway.

So a cable of 1mm2 (normally rated for at least 10A) will more than cover this. However, I wonder if there is any benefit in using a thicker cable, other than robustness...or obsession:)


I like the motor covers with the glands. Is this something you printed yourself, or are they readily available for the Nema23 frame? BTW, my Z motor is to the side of the column, just like in your picture.

I printed these a few years ago but since then I have milled them from various blocks of plastic including those fencing posts made from car tires. If you do a search for hem I have seen them in Europe somewhere
