    I bought 2 types of carriers for my Robo 3D printer and neither one works. One is set for 1/32 steps with the default jumpers and the other didn't work at all. On the one that works, I doubled the steps in the firmware and it works okay for large x moves, but on the small jittery moves, it's erratic.

    Where can I buy the carrier that works out of the box with 1/16 steps for the robo 3d?

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. There are 5 stepper motor drivers on the RAMPS board. On the Schematic they are described as A4988 Carriers. The one used to drive the X-Axis motors in my Robo 3D is toast.

    After a slight pot adjustment on the new stepper driver, I am back in the 3D print business. The new driver came off the spares kit mark posted from Amazon.
