Hi Vez, just FYI, detent torque actually refers to the torque required to spin the shaft when the motor is completely unpowered. Whereas holding torque refers to when the motor is powered but not commanded to move. Detent torque is useful in situations where the motor can be constantly loaded, for example, the z-motors which have to always support the mass of the bed, even when the power is off.

[@Vez3D]

Oh i didnt know that. Thanks

[@ZombieHedgehogMakes]

This is absolutly insane, I have been loving all my Speedy Power motors, cannot wait to get my hands on some of these! Finally a reason to upgrade to 48V...

I have a heavily modified voron 2.4 with all CNC parts and 4wd with liquid cooled motors and goliath with hextrudort low plus watercooled. And silicone spacers between all motors with gates and runice motion parts. It makes almost no noise and can run as fast as his vzbot, plus it can print PEEK.

Dayumnnn that is fast! And i print at 200 on one and 250mm/s on the other of my two built printers! Soon building a voron 2.4 (still did not finish the 450mm3 VZ bot, sorry Simon) i have 2 of Nema 17 / 60mm long motors for it, will report back what those can do. Thank you.

[@vinnycordeiro]

Since no one said that until now, I'll say it: this motor is just LDO's version of the QSH4218-47-28-040 stepper motor made by Trinamic (yep, the same company that make the popular TMC stepper drivers). The specs of them both are really, really close if you look at both datasheets. Btw, companies should use Trinamic's datasheets as their guide, the sheer amount of information you can read on them is amazing, you can learn A LOT about stepper motors reading them. As long as LDO's motor prices are lower than Trinamic's ones (depending on where you look they cost from $60 to over $70 each. Ouch.), they look very promising.

[@alexeyderiy7932]

Trinamic also cost around 70$

[@vinnycordeiro]

@@alexeyderiy7932 My comment was exactly about the Trinamic motors, I'm yet to see how much the LDO ones cost. EDIT: so far I've found just one store in the UK (F3DM) with them on pre-sale for £23. That's a VERY good price.

[@crazytrutas]

I need a holiday after watching those speeds! Happy holidays. 🥃

[@olorf]

In my experience, it's very hard to avoid those noisy feedrates other than keep below them since at some angles and for arcs the motor is bound to hit that resonant RPM at some point even if you go way above it in feedrate.

[@Vez3D]

Thats true.. but on the slicer in straight lines you can avoid them as much as possible where its possible

[@noviceartisan]

Happy holidays dude. Looking forward to seeing more amazing mods! Can't wait till I can get all the bits to do your build :)

[@bartacus3521]

It's like the Ferrari 812 Superfast. The whole auto community laughed at the name, and then they heard it, and drove it, and all of a sudden the name wasn't so dumb, LOL!

[@Dangineering]

I had to double check I wasn't watching at 2x speed when you starting printing with those motors. It looks absolutely unreal

[@kaleCNC]

Hi Vez, I think you can improve deceleration by adding resistor to power supply (breaking resistor). stepper motors generate electricity while decelerating and if this electricity has no place to go than the bus voltage increases resulting poor breaking power.

[@heliosone8138]

What resistor I need to use ?

[@billclark5943]

Looking forward to trying them on my machine with 10mm lead ball screws. Now I just need to find the motors in stock somewhere.

[@ralmslb]

15:00 those vibrations at low speed can be a deal breaker no? Considering that the printer needs to slowdown into those speeds, before it speeds back up.

[@rmatveev]

Hi, Simon! Motors are very impresive! That low resistance and inductance just UNBELIVABLE! On 18:50 you printed this orange part with the Lines (Cura) or Rectilinear (Prusa) infil pattern, right! You have to try to increase the infill line width to 0.6 or even more. If the line width is lower that 0.6mm than your infill layers are not bonding to the layer beneath. With 0.6mm+ line width you will get solid infill - MUCH stronger!

[@randallbourque1321]

Holy smokes!! That is crazy fast and so clean.

[@TheElectronicDilettante]

These steppers are just more AliExpress inventory with better documentation and maybe higher quality bearings pressed in. They can’t be used for anything requiring high resolution or high precision with a step angle of 1.8 deg(+/-5%). That’s 0.09deg every step is made and that adds up. It will severely impact dimensional accuracy, surface finish while also leading to layer misalignment and print artifacts. I want to see a review of some steppers made by Germany, England, Japan or the US ( if there’s anyone left here that makes them). Something with a step angle of 0.036deg/step and a 0.5% accuracy. These exist, just have to spend a bit more than $40 per motor. Precision requires precision.

[@BigfootPrinting]

Do you use 16microsteps for Max torque? I’ve heard conflicting info on whether higher numbers dips the torque but you’d be the one to have tested this vez

[@Vez3D]

form my testing it loses a bit of torque when you increase ms

[@twanheijkoop6753]

Stop making me want to upgrade when my current parts haven't even arrived yet.

[@ЕвгенийВладимиров-л3к]

it will not be possible to completely exclude from 90 to 105 mm / s. there are also diagonal movements and circular movements

[@Vez3D]

Completely no.. but you can slice at speeds that will avoid it as much as possible where you can

[@tadhgd350]

What if you bump the current to 2.4amps and try for 3000mm/s? Iirc ldo motors says even speedy motors are fine on 2.4 amps

[@Vez3D]

I just tried... no issue.. it reaches 3000 ;) could even bump accel a bit more .. like 47k

[@tadhgd350]

@@Vez3D i tnink I might have read somewhere that ldo puts the actual max current on their data sheets instead of whatever the standard is, so they’re cape able of continuous 2.8a, but that might just be for the AH high temp versions

[@jc84com]

That is interesting that motors makes additional vibrations at some range of speeds. Interesting to determine what speeds produce the least noise / vibrations. these are the 1st LDO motors I have seen that have connector plugs on the motors, Some motors the wires are physically wired in. Especially on small Extruder motors. This makes it hard to swap them out without rewiring the whole cable harness back the the control board.

[@NickNick2024]

For high temperature rated motors, you will not see connectors on the motor since none of the common connectors hold up to high temperatures. A lot of 3d printers use the high temperature motors, especially on the toolhead and anything inside the chamber.

5:40 what caused the printer to stop when it reaches the max capacity of the motor? Stall detection?

[@E4S65]

This is a good time to get into Vez/ unicorn speed!

[@timha4102]

I put these in my Voron and I‘m still not shure at what current to run them. They seem to need at least 1.2A or they will stall. But even then they get really hot to the touch.

[@Vez3D]

@timha4102 i run them at 2.4amp but i watercool them. With no watercool you can run them easy at 2amp (if your driver allows for that)

[@timha4102]

@@Vez3D Thanks! I just realised that my93W power supply is not enough to run them at those currents. I‘ll need to get a 200W version.

[@pixiepaws99]

Very nice for stepper motors in open loop, but you should be able to achieve the same results by using better drivers and higher voltages with almost any other stepper. As far as vibration at low speeds, look at the current waveform in the phases with an oscilloscope. I think you should be able to solve that problem by adjusting the drivers. I still prefer BLDC servos, or at least running hybrid stepper motors in FOC mode at ~96V. Edit: I'm getting 125m/s^2 acceleration with my 240V 180W AC servos, silent at all speeds, no vibration or artifacts at any speed. They have 17 bit optical encoders, showing maximum following error of 0.5° at peak acceleration and no following error at normal operating accelerations. I can further reduce that following error with additional tuning, but I haven't bothered because it's imperceptible as it is. The best part is I never have to worry about missing steps or input shaping and and all that. Since the load characteristics are very well defined and relatively static, the tuning is _very_ easy and everything works as expected.

[@Vez3D]

I run the best driver possible and 48v. I too prefer bldc..but its wayyyy more expensive

[@gihadmurad]

The Voron Trident Kit I bought from Formbot end of 2021 came with Moons MS17HD6P4200 steppers. I was comparing it with these 2 LDO motors and it's doesn't look too bad. Maybe I don't need to upgrade to the Speedy motors.

[@EgorKaskader]

Honestly, you would mainly need to upgrade if you're approaching the limits of what your current motors can do. That's not really the case for most users.

Is it possible to increase the ramp up to full speed, and slow down so that it stays at full speed longer

so presumably these new model will be called 42STH48 2804AC ? ...but will ldo also be working on a higher temperature MAC version of these? ... that might be called 42STH48 2804MAC ?

[@catnipaddict126]

what is the max current you can set on a stepper driver for the 42sth48-2804ah? is it 2.8A or 2.8*0.707 = 1.98 A?

[@regun2434]

Copied some of your parts from your list for my flsun sr 😁 maybe some 48v parts will push some speed out of it.

[@jaredgaylord5315]

I’ve got this on my Longmill CNC machine

[@Nobody-Nowhere]

You should test these at different voltages & currents, the specs are kinda implying that they are high voltage motors. Might not work as well at 12 or 24v.

[@tadhgd350]

Different voltages don’t change how much voltage gets to motors, it’s just to overcome the back emf from the motors. Running them on 48v won’t mean the motors are getting 48v

[@BH4x0r]

@@tadhgd350 exactly, well at 2000mm/s it sure plays an effect tho, i doubt they can reach these speeds with enough torque at 24V or even reach that at all, and they technically DO see 48V all the time, but due to the PWM stepper drivers its like its seeing a lower voltage, kinda like EV motors actually see the whole battery voltage the whole time, albeit in small short peaks/switches no matter wether it's at 10km/h or 250 current however will play a large role in the acceleration

[@Nobody-Nowhere]

@@tadhgd350 It affects how much back EMF it can handle. Higher voltages offer much higher torques & speeds, and the motor inductance & resistance basically tells you is it suited for the voltage/current you have available. He is running i think 48v drivers that can push out 5a or something like that, its quite marginal setup.

[@Nobody-Nowhere]

@@tadhgd350 What im trying to say, is that these motors might not be as well suited for 12-24v systems with under 2amp drivers.
