Some chunky 3D Prints with Lulzbot 1.2mm nozzles and 3DFuel Pro PLA+, and some mounts for ODrive S1 drivers and motors. Should have about 6KW of power!

But that's when I learned about the new-new kind of motor that (at least my) furnaces use.

They call it an "#ECM" motor, but that is just an acronym for Electronically #Commutated Motor, which just means it doesn't have motor #brushes - just like a DC #brushless motor.

What they actually are is #fiendishly more #complicated. And so, of course, they're #expensive.

I paid about $1300 to replace it. I took the old one #apart to figure out how it #worked and why it's so expensive.
