What type of 3D printer stepper motor best suits your needs?
There are a few things to consider when searching for the ideal stepper motor to accommodate your existing 3D printer setup. Here’s a bit of a breakdown of various stepper motor types and variations:
- Pancake motors are ideal for lightweight applications, like direct drive extruders or in compact designs such as portable 3D printers.
-
40-45 N⋅cm motors are considered the “standard choice” among consumers, having a substantial amount of torque for moving large gantries at impressive speeds, while still maintaining a compact design.
-
50-56 N⋅cm motors are nowhere near as common, mostly for the fact that they are too large and powerful for most applications. However, this does make them well-suited to moving very big or heavy print beds.
- Geared Steppers use a gearbox to manage speed and torque.
- Brushless Motors with Encoders are much quicker (and often more powerful) than typical stepper motors, but this comes with a heftier price tag and more sophisticated installation process.
