About half a year after the release of Watterott’s breakout board, the potential of smarter stepper motor drivers piqued the curiosity of the 3D printing community, but not much has happened ...

ST has released a new evaluation board for a stepper motor driver. It’ll plug right into your 3D printer, and if you’re looking for a chip to build a cheap 3D printer controller board around ...

While an inkjet printer sprays drops of ink on paper, a 3D printer extrudes hot plastic onto a glass or metal build plate. Two computer-controlled motors ... feels rough. Vertical curves and ...

Fixing big pain points with 3D printing — if it succeeds ... the Y-axis build plate using a fancy stepper motor with “high-subdivision drivers” and two belts instead of one.
