The motors are more than beefy enough. I could easily pull off NEMA14. I actually might be able to go faster with them because inertia is the limiting factor here. However, NEMA14 motors would increase the price.
Currently I have the acceleration set really low to make it gentle on the design. I have yet to do speed tests. I have had it going as fast as 300mm/s but with the current acc settings that couldnt happen in a normal print.
I don't want people to freak out when the elbows flap around. However they can be displaced up to 15mm and not affect the effector's location.
