I have seen some posts objecting to certain steppers for the solsylva. I am building one of these, but I haven't ordered the steppers, drivers, or leadscrews yet. Given that money is not horribly tight, but not abundant, and that I am going with leadscrews (leaning toward ACME 2 start) with an aluminum gantry, which stepper/driver/leadscrew combo should I get?
I like the hobbycnc package, but only because I like building the electronics kits to save money, but not at the cost of performance. Are they good/bad/indifferent? Solsylva kind of leads you toward hobbycnc or xylotex for their steppers. Did anyone use these and end up replacing them right away for some reason? If so, I would sure like to hear about it.
TIA,
