Need M3 Stepper Motor Quick

[cdb0ewm]

One of my stepper motors died in the middle of my project and I need a replacement asap. I looked on Amazon, since I have prime, but not sure if there is a replacement there. I'm open to any suggestions on getting one quick


Thanks

It's extremely unlikely that the stepper motor itself died. That's just not how that would normally happen. I'd suspect instead that the stepper driver itself is dead. The kit should have one spare that I'd suggest dropping in.

thanks - what is happening is the motor works ok without the belt however it spins freely by hand. Once with the belt tightened there is no motion

I still think it’s a stepper driver matter. I’d check voltage on the one that is there then go from there. I’d also suggest plugging the offending axis into another and checking some movement there, keeping in mind that on an M3 the Z has 2x the steps/mm setting as X and Y so it swapping those would result in different movements.

You are right that solved the problem thank you
