Hi everyone! I'm building a 3D printer and I'm planning to buy a stepper motor online from skysmotor.co.uk. What models (e.g., NEMA 17) do you recommend for the X/Y/Z axes? Is it better to buy pre-wired cables or separate cables? Also, how can I check compatibility with Arduino/RAMPS-type boards? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
