I have an older 1:1 Alpha... I know that the ASM911 swap to the ASM98AA-T7.2 is the standard upgrade path... I'm wondering what other options are out there. For example:
1) My 12" Z and A axis came with ASM98AA-T10 steppers, as is my B axis. If I went with them on the X and Y also... all my motors and drivers would be the same... one backup in reserve would serve any axis. I know that I would lose some top jogging speed but would not care if everything else was happy.
2) Are there still no off the shelf gearboxes available that fit the ASM911 Stepper? Belt drive reduction looks simple enough... just more than I want to construct by myself right now. Is anyone happy with their belt reduction units?
3) There are some ASD16AC / ASM98AC T7.2 motor & drive combos available on EBay reasonably. These are 220V units. The input says N---220. Will the residential version of 220 (-110 --- +110) work?
Thanks!
