Re: Stepper Motor heat (issue or not)?

It seems want and can are the key words.

I have 5 v, 1.5 A Vexta, that is hot enough that I don't want to touch
it, but not so hot in that it will not melt wax.

Not very scientific, but I use wax to dry lubricate drills and just
wanted to see if the motor would melt the stuff.
