This project is part of a larger goal to make a complete 3D printer based around these ‘DC motor stepper motors’ which we will watch with interest.

This article discusses different types of motors, basic motor-driver parameters, and specific design requirements to consider when searching for the ideal motor driver for a host of applications.

Instead of the more conventional stepper motors, he designed a fully 3D-printed 3-pole brushed motor. The motor coils are made from solder paste, which the printer applies using a custom syringe ...
