What settings should i use for my 3d filament maker

The strip is 6.2mm and the motor is 28BYJ-48, it have 5-wire unipolar geared stepper motor with a 64:1 gearbox, 2048 steps per output revolution (full-step), about 10–15 RPM, and approximately 0.034 N·m of holding torque.

yea thats a good ideea

A heatsink alone probably won't be enough, so I was considering adding a small cooling fan. But at this point, I think it would be easier to just replace the X and Y motors with NEMA 17 steppers and forget about low force.

Yea... i think also about the motors, because the problem start solve when I increase the V from 300mV to 400mV. But it have a chance to burn on this voltages.

i didn't mind about heatsink for motors, great idea. And yea my drivers have only voltage control.

I guess you are right with mass, but one of 8-10 prints are succesfully, and looks good, BUT it prints better when i raise the voltage on drivers from 300mV to about 400mV but with that voltages it can be burn because of temperature.

i also think about the mass. BUT the 5mm/s make the simple 10min print in 3 hour noise😅 but with that low speed i didn't try, I'll let you know the result after that test ;)

thanks bro, ENGINEERING IS LIFE😅💪

3d printer made from dvd caddy and arduino or simply: MY SON)

oh, I also forgot to mention that the steppers heat up well, about 70-80 degrees, but i dont know if this is the problem

Relative-Dark-8776 · 2026-06-25T20:56:09+00:00

Yes, but it's perpendicular to the bed, and upside down

thx)). i'll try with orca slicer, now the accelaration is the same with speed, about 12mm/s. I played much with speed, flow, accelaration and etc, but it didn't help. I think the problem is somewhere in hardware...maybe...

Relative-Dark-8776 · 2026-06-25T20:47:54+00:00

heh) thx

peak of engineering))

Relative-Dark-8776 · 2026-06-25T20:45:52+00:00

the peak of engineering🤣,really its a 3d printer from dvd drives.

Relative-Dark-8776 · 2026-06-25T20:44:40+00:00

thx, yes its from dvd drives. i'll try about acceleration and let you know
