Review on Iverntech NEMA 17 Stepper Motor With Integrated 350Mm T8 Lead Screw: The Ultimate Solution For Precise Z Axis Movement In 3D Printing And CNC Machining by David Lesperance

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Work very well, much better than the crappy threaded rod that was OE.

These work very, very well; very smooth, straight, and powerful. My machine uses 2 Z-steppers, so I had to increase the max. current on the driver, and add a heatsink. A note to Repetier users: The leadscrew calculator lists a T8-2 leadscrew, but the value this calculator returns must be divided by 4, for example, the motors are a 1.8 degree step, and my driver is set for 1/16 step, giving 3200 pulses per revolution. On these 4-lead screws, 1 revolution gives 8mm of travel, so the correct Z-step setting is 400 pulses per mm. Hope this helps.

Pros
  • worked great
Cons
  • The motor's high power consumption can lead to increased electricity bills and strain on the machine's power supply
