Cheap small steppers and drivers

Cheers guys.
Those enclosed TB6600 ones Lucan linked to look like they'll do the job.

Magic, they're only for some bench testing, so I'm not that worried about reliability. They'll only be getting connected to some small steppers and a max of 30V, so I'm not going to be pushing them hard.

I rewired a clapped out 6040 for someone with a set and they seemed fine for what they were CCC (cheapChineseCr@p)

Here is a link to see the different specs http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/TB6600_vs_TB6560.html I have the TB6560 in a laser and they work ok without problems. But the others are probably more robust.

I've had approximately 33% DOA from ebay sellers, before I simply went for better quality, some are good, some are bad, the only way to find out is buy them.
Hence my recommendation to go with a recommended model from a specific supplier, there are multiple versions of all cheap drivers from multiple sources in China.

I'll find out in a couple of weeks.
At under £13 per drive and motor pair, it's hardly going to break the bank if they don't work.
