Have Pi, need to connect 2A Stepper

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 B. My build area is going to be 7.5"x10" so I wanted to use a 2A (maybe more) stepper motor. The only nice solution I can find, , can only give me 1.2A. What other options do I have?

Hi Panther,

we still use a nema17 with a planetery gearbox.

for example like this:


that way you can still use the normal electronics.

cheers,
