NEMA 17 Power Supply

Robin2:
An A4988 will not work with a 1.7 amp motor [...] What power source are you thinking of (volts and amps) ? [...]

Thanks so far!

I think I have to start earlier and need a stepper motor advice as well. I dont have my mechanical parts yet, but in general the stepper should be able to move a load of about 500-1000g with as many rounds per minute as possible for under ~25€. I would prefer a stepper with less steps, because I only need 24. I've read that steppers with 24 or 48 steps are cheaper but they also seem to have a lower torque (permanent magnet stepper motors).

So is there anyone who could recommend a good motor for me?
