OOznest's CNC router needs more power

[lindum]

Hi Just finished building the OOZnest cnc router, but the power supply that I had was hardly turning the nema 23s so I upped it from 12v to 24v (6.25A) and the same thing, the nema,s hardly turning. Do you think I aut to get a 36v supply or stay with a 12v and 50A to give it that bit more of a kick.

I'd be grateful for any advice here.

Thanks.

If the motors dont have enough torque. All the voltage in the world won't help.

Having said that, almost any machine could benefit from at least 36v.

I dont really know anything about this machine, so can't really give you any more advice.

Yes, I thought I'd have to increase the voltage and go with a 36v supply. But what would be your suggestions regarding the amount of amps. There's 1 Nema 17 and 3 Nema 23s.

Thanks for your help by the way.

What are the ratings of the motors and drives?
I wouldn't think you that you'd need more than 6-7 amps?
