Warm Stepper Motors

Ok, after printing the crown, I went back and taped all the wires, put them in wire loom and got everything set a little more permanent.

I have the dual end stops and haven’t messed very much with the coding at all. The stepper motors are warm and I have only been moving the axis to make sure the wiring is all OK with the lengths and that the “tapemeasure trick” works fine. I can still put my hand on the motors, but they are pretty warm. What could be some of the causes?

Steppers get warm. If you can’t hold onto them, then they’re too hot, other than that, don’t worry about it too much.
