Good powerful NEMA 17 stepper motor

I used a geared extruder on my 3D printer with 2.85mm filament size. I had a standard NEMA 17 40mm stepper motor running on an extruder and was having trouble skipping steps when trying to extrude 2.85/3mm filament. I had to increase the motor current of this 40mm motor above the rated amps and there were still some missing steps due to the extra torque required for the larger diameter filament. I ordered this stepper motor because of the higher current limit and higher torque. Rating for pairing with my Titan style 2.85mm extruder. This engine has done its job. It runs a lot cooler because I don't feed it too much power and I can set it up so I don't have problems with missing steps when extruding. I would buy this stepper motor again for similar applications. I've also considered replacing my Y-axis movable stepper motors on my 310 x 310mm printers with one of these printers, as the size of the print bed puts extra stress on the motors. Make sure it matches the output of your stepper driver. I think I had to swap them out a bit on mine. As a manufacturer, that wasn't enough for me to deduct a star, especially considering that pinout variations are common in 3D printer components today. Just remember to check it out.

Pros
  • Brackets and accessories
Cons
  • Very expensive
