upgrading step motors

I found this nema 23 really cheap and I was thinking about upgrading R3D:


You can see the size compare with the one on R3D. LOL.
Now I have to find new timing pulleys since the axels is 7mm and not 5mm

what do you guys think.??

cheers

I guess my first question would be why? That motor looks much much larger not sure what you would gain out of it.

 

1'' steel plate for the bed?

 

Inertia is still the enemy

 

I guess this would be a case where just because YOU CAN doesn't mean YOU SHOULD. haha

 

lol

 

I know I was just enticing to see what people would say. I got theses motors really, really cheap, but then I discover the shaft is 7mm and not 5mm.

I will see if I can make a delta printer (rostock) or even a CNC router out of it.

 

I would think they would be a great motor for a CNC, a Rostock while I don't have much experience with I think they would be overkill on. A good CNC though will have heavy axis to move and therefor need the additional power. Either way I'm intrigued so keep us updated PC.
