    Okay, so George convinced me on getting the Leadshine MX3660 and nema 23 kit plus power supply.
    I have been reading up on it and doesnt look to difficult to wire up. I might end up doing something a little "fancy" and wire up a serial connector to each stepper motor input and one to each stepper motor them selves.
    Would there be a need to wire in a resistor for each of the stepper motors when wiring them up to the driver?

    Most serial port connectors can't carry enough current for stepper motors. Imo, you're better off running the stepper wires right into the drive.
    No, you don't add any resistors in the motor wires.

    Like Ger says, just wiring with no add-ons is best. Just get good flexible wiring , shielded 18 gauge . Igus is about best wiring

    Do you guys recommend a cable with 4 conductors or single wires and bundle them?

    Was told by George MX4660 won't be out till September. So I guess I'm going with the MX3660.

    I didn't realize you answered this George. Hope you are getting better. Hope you can get back to full time running xzero.
