New Stepper controllers for Gen v1.4

[jayvanden]

The farmbot is extremely loud when running especially the z screw. I was told by someone who does a lot of 3D printing that changing the steppers to a better version would reduce a lot of the noise. Has anyone done this before and if so what were your results and what upgrades would you recommend?

Thanks,

ps. I am a robotics newbie

Hey @jayvanden,

changing the stepper drivers to TMC is highly recommended to reduce noise. You can find much more info by searching for “TMC” in the forum seach function.

Stepper driver change for no-noise bot

Hoi zäme, I just got the tip from @Ascend to change the stepper drivers to TMC2208 ones and this works perfectly, thanks again @Ascend. I can recommend this to everyone who likes to have a no-noise farmbot. This is such a drastic change, I would even recommend to ship them with the farmbot @roryaronson @Gabriel. I cannot even hear the bot anymore The drivers are availble for the same price as the old ones if this is correctly displayed in the farmbot BOM with 30$ for all 4 Chee…
