Z motor Very Hot


TitusADuxass

Question

Why is my Z motor very hot (even at idle).

This is what I have in the printer.cfg. Is it the high run current (0.8)?

[stepper_z]
step_pin: PC6
dir_pin: PC7
enable_pin: !PA9
microsteps: 16
rotation_distance: 8
endstop_pin: PC3 #probe:z_virtual_endstop #PC3 #^PD2
homing_speed: 5
#position_endstop: 0
position_min: -9
position_max: 200
homing_retract_dist: 20
 
[tmc2209 stepper_z]
uart_pin: PB10 
run_current: 0.800
sense_resistor: 0.110
stealthchop_threshold: 500
 

TIA

Looking at both my Trident and V0

On the Trident, my run_current is 0.6 and stealthchop_threshold is 0. I have no sense_resistor set.

On the V0, sense_resistor is the same as yours, but run_current is 0.37.

Perhaps your run_current is too high? How did you arrive at 0.8?

My run current on the Z-motors on all the Vo's are 0.3 - the recommended for stepper online motors, as in my machines. For LDO motors it would be 0.37

[tmc2209 stepper_z]
uart_pin: PC11
tx_pin: PC10
uart_address: 1
interpolate: False
## For OMC (StepperOnline) 17LS13-0404E-200G 0.4A 
run_current: 0.3
## For LDO-42STH25-1004CL200E 1.0A
#run_current: 0.37
sense_resistor: 0.110
stealthchop_threshold: 0   

Perhaps change your run current
