Another quick update today on some progress! First off, I have a basic function now that reads through the printer config file, finds the line that defines the micro steps for the motor, and then updates the micro steps to the desired setting. I haven't included this in the loop functions yet...

that's a great question! I have a lot of motors in my bin, maybe 20-30 different models. I'll have to compile a list!

Hello everyone! It's time for another update. The last few weeks I've put a ton of time into this, and most of it's due to me gradually learning python which has been slow but rewarding. I finally 3d printed the structural parts for the dyno! You can see the BLDC motor on the left, which for...

that's a big one! It's looking good, as @Sliced_Weezel mentioned the wipers likely won't fit with the full size build plate, but maybe you can come up with another solution. Hopefully someone can get Mirrored/Duplication done sometime too with all of the interest!

glad you have found it helpful!

yes! I have a fairly extensive list of motors from LDO, OMC, etc that will get tested once the dyno is completed!

Follow along as I build a stepper motor dyno! If you're following my YouTube channel, I have content on figuring out which stepper motor is best for you (with a theoretical model): With the theoretical model accessible here...
