I see all the concern about resonance stalls with steppers. When I switched to Gecko 250 drivers I stopped having these problems. I see 60 ipm with no problems on direct drive and 5 tpi ball screws. They were a little more expensive but a lot less trouble. I can't remember the stated solution for the resonance solution but in my experience it works.
