I am ending up using 3D printed timing wheels instead of all the aluminum ones I ordered.  Sending them back for a $75 refund!  Had a beast of a time figuring out a problem I was having with the second set of stepper motors.  One of them worked just fine, but the other kept getting hung up and had very low torque.  Tried 3 different motors and they all had the same problem.  I finally found the hitch:  In some earlier testing, I briefly wired up power to one of the motor drivers reverse polarity and it didn't run and the IC on the board got really hot.  I rewired it and it seemed OK - but apparently, it wasn't.   When I swapped out the board for a new one the problem was solved.  Pretty satisfying seeing these run perfectly in sync... 79,85,44,0,W
