@Trish What do you mean exactly with "4 wire connection slot from a MOSFET" from 3dprinting.stackexchange.com/a/7623/5740? Shouldn't this be "4 wire connection slot for a stepper" What has the 4 wire connection of a stepper to do with a MOSFET? Please explain.

@0scar pretty much that... it comes through the MOSFET though

@Trish I've a basic electronics background, please enlighten me. Do you mean that the stepper driver chip is the MOSFET? I understand that this chip drives/schedules the phases of the steppers, I just never associated that with being a MOSFET, nor have I ever seen anybody doing that. For that reason it was unclear to me. Might be for other too :)
 
I mean, that thing under the cooler... the current flows through it to the exit.
(Or do I mixed up my parts?)
@0scar switched to stepper driver.
 
@Trish Yup, the MOSFET's schedule the voltage to the heating cartridge and the heat bed, the stepper driver chips schedule the volage/current to the stepper phases.
@Trish That makes sense :)

@Greenonline @StarWind0 @tbm0115 - What do you all do with blatant spam accounts? If someone creates an account which their only purpose is create spam (whether that's one Q/A or 20), I'll destroy the account. Just wondering what your philosophy is in this situation.

Well I've been fighting the spam war for years now with my facebook groups.
Ban first ask questions later. I've never had anyone challenge a ban out of hundreds
Sadly here we do not have the tools like facebook. I stop 4/5 spammers from even joining with a questionnaire, and applicant screening. IE I'll decline anyone that has a new account, didn't answer the questions / invalid answers. Funny enough, some people will say answer my question "are you here to sell us stuff" with a yes on their applications
It's different here of course where someone has an account with a history, but if it's an empty shell I'd say ban and forget.
I will note that I've seen some mods in other parts of the internet ban for things they don't agree with or because someone is a jerk, which is not what I am saying. This attitude is for clear spam.
I did ban one person once for posting... ... ... erotic STLs. He had a warning, but after he posted that "tank" file. Nope.
