Adjust the phase current, crank up the microstepping, and forget about it — that’s what most people want out of a stepper motor driver IC. Although they power most of our CNC machines and 3D printers, ...

As far as consumer-grade 3D printers are concerned, MakerBot’s replicator is a powerful unit with a print volume of 456 cubic inches and a 100 micron layer resolution. It can fabricate some pretty ...

Stellamove have created a new 3D printer called the RAPY, which according to its creators is one of the first DC potor powered 3D printers with a position feedback control. Current 3D printers are ...
