NEMA34 upgrade (lemmy.ml)
submitted 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Upgraded from a NEMA24 to a NEMA34.

Before going out and milling or buying it in metal it is always a good idea to testprint it.

Probably will use the plastic part for a while as 3mm wall-thickness PETG seems might already be good enough.

So uh, if I can ask, why?

Like what are you doing that needs this kind of uh, upgrade?

Small CNC-mill. Previous 1.85mm NEMA23 wasn't enough.

Oh, that makes sense. I was trying to mentally imagine what kind of FDM printer could possibly need that much power and was very much coming up with a blank, lol.
