My Ultimaker 1's latest trick is eating stepper drivers, just killed two this morning upon switching it on.

How makes the best replacement and i want ones that are pre soldered.

I would get the genuine ones but postage is mental to the UK and i need them asap.

Cheers

    google "pololu" drivers in this forum like this, then after you choose a model number google that for pricing:

    So paste this into a google search:

    site:umforum.ultimaker.com pololu

    read about the 4988, 8825, and 4983 as a minimum. Also read about pololu "black" and "green".

    Hi George

    Thanks for the info, ordered the Pololu A4988 black.

    Realised i have a limit switch not working, would the stepper fail it the motor reached the motion limit but did not turn off?

    Just trying to work out a possible reason for the failure.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
