Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Nema17 Bipolar Stepper Printer by Twotrees by Pete Norris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great with Titan Extruder on Creality CR-10 V2!

I recently installed the Titan extruder upgrade on my CR-10 V2. While this is a great direct drive upgrade, the weight it places on the hot-end assembly is significant. This could potentially affect the acceleration and movement of the hotend and hence multi-angle 3D printing. With this stepper, not only did it reduce the weight by 2/3, but it also worked perfectly without recalibrating the electronic steps! Now don't get me wrong, I'm planning on doing an E-Step setup via the pronterface to set it up after I've installed the E3D V6 all-metal hot end (with 3D Passion attachment and thermal break). Ignore the cable routing in the photos as it is temporary. I'm developing a drag and drop setup in Fusion360 to handle all of this. Thanks very much! Update: I added a heatsink to the stepper motor (removed the cloth tape that came with it and installed real hot melt tape) as it does get a bit warm.

Pros
  • Low Resistance: Twotrees stepper motors can have lower resistance than motors of the same thickness and torque. This greatly increases the thermal conductivity of the motor. This effectively reduces the temperature rise.
Cons
  • Long Delivery
