Hey Stijn, ik ben zelf een cnc plasma snijder aan het bouwen. moet je programma speciaal worden aangepast in arduino als je closed loop stappenmotor gebruikt momenteel gebruik ik een open loop.

Great project, thanks for the detailed overview and code!

Hello sir, i’m going to use my stepper motor for preventing a rider from holding the brakes then releasing the brakes on a bicycle so which pin from the 8 pins should i use?

Very nice, look forward to updates.

you can find special mineral oil to transfer from windings to outer shell, needs a hold for input, just a tiny bit of oil will change the transfer a lot, pro motor thermal oil uses some kind of suspension maybe just fine iron to aid heat transfer, search for grintech cooling oil formula to know more.

Keep Good Work Going,. I love your work Bro,.

Hi, works now. Did you do anythig to prevent ground loops?

Can you tell me your Python environment and version number? I downloaded your code and ran the program, but encountered an issue where the GUI does not display

Good! thank you😃

hi stijn, awesome project! i am rebuilding it and i am trying to find your code, especially the code that goes on the mega but th ones i find in your "code.zip" looks very empty. where can i find more?

the delay is way too long

In order to keep dirt and stuff out of the stepper...just a fan blowing across at an angle seems to do the best, but for best cooling holes and airflow thru the steppers is the way to go

Recomiendas Odrive o simplefoc para aplicaciones de robotica??

Can you share the source code? thankyou

Why are your motors getting so hot in the first place though? Are you running too high of current on your drivers?

now i have to drill holes in my stepper motors! i hate you

would this motor allow me to accurately drive the shaft from 0 to 360 degrees with a raspberry pi?

Interesting test. The easy solution might be a 5015 fan with a printed shroud around 4 sides of the motor. All the airflow would contribute to heat removal. Note that steppers don't need cooling unless they're pushed to the limits. Most motors are happy up to 80C, so cooling one that is far below that, won't make any practical difference.

but why ? normal operating temperature of all standard NEMA steppers is 95°C (you can find it in manual). there is no need to cool them at all. they are meant to run hot and it's totally fine for them.

Good experiments. Very helpful. Please try water cooled heat sick next time.

I stick stepper driver AL heatsinkS on the black stator housing 4 sides..works great for me.

thank you so much for this.

how to use odrives?

That was really interesting! How about heat pipes to a heat sink from the sides?

Hi... Why my motor only vibrating (it won't rotating) then driver Alarm blinking for 7times, I use HBS86H driver to drive my closed loop stepper motor.

3M's 9448A is not thermal transfer tape and is not made for heatsinks. It comes with many of cheap heatsinks because it is thin and cheap and sorta works, but work well it does not. 3M's 8805 would be the correct thermally conductive adhesive for this application.

I would like to look into statorade for cooling, it's a magnetic oil made for ebike motors. I'm not sure if a stepper motor would work correctly with a magnetic oil inside

Great video!

Just what I was looking for! Thanks for posting.

Thanks for info! Great job.

Hello can you home the stepper without the need of a sensor just with the encoder? Like a cnc ?

Even if in an enclosed setup this way of cooloing is not the best, the ideeas worth noted.

Try holes fan and a polite module with cooling side towards fan with a heat sink on the hot side....think the results would be interesting

Great insight to cooling stepper motors. You helped me alot. Thanks buddy

I'm about to buy this same combo, 30kgf motor and CL23 with the purpose of replacing my cnc motors which are also 30kgf but open loop. What do you think of this Cloudray kit, does it look good to you? I found few videos talking about it.

very nice! can it also be used for angular positioning?

great video, you may know this already but running too cool can actually get your worse results on your speed/torque curve just like running too hot will. you probably wouldn't see negative effects of cooling though unless your ambient was really low.

If the acceleration - or the inertia - of the movement of your 3D printer head is a problem, then why not use a SCARA robot, or better yet, a parallel arm robot. Not only do these have less inertia than cartesian systems, but also pose no limit to how big the motor can be. I think you are "carving in the shit"

I think the rational cooling method is by add heat sink on the side area, and blow it with airflow. drilling hole to stepper body is worse idea, because it is allowed DUST to enter in. it may cause problem for long run period. You was inspiring me to make cooling system for my Nema 34 stepper motor, thanks dude, your awesome.

This was incredibly helpful and we have now changed the way we cool a critical stepper motor in one of our machines. Used to cool with heatsink from the back but now we pass air around the stepper with heat sinks placed around it. Works better :)

hi mate are you going to do a follow up video on updating odrive . the latest version for v3.6 is only in gif file no hex files.

Nice simple design and explanation. Have you thought about making a PCB stator?

Very, very professional, congratz. Do you have any heat problem mixing the PC heat with the case heat?

Excellent work

make bigger and put gym goers ass trainers to spin it like conan movie

Sorry to ask you a question on an old vid, but how do you attach shaft to the shaft adapter? Glue, thread, press fit or maybe somethong else? Thanks :)

Can you make a 6-phase axial dual stator flux motor?

Great test and very useful information! Sub'd!

Just ignore that stepper motor on the bottom, folks.

Nice work 👍
