Hi, what are you looking for?As is known to everyone, three main types of stepper motors are available in the market. They are permanent magnet (PM) stepper motor, variable reluctance (VR) stepper motor, and hybrid stepper motor. Do you know which one you should use for your project? If you are

The P8 line of micro stepper actuators from Actuonix is a new ultra-compact design. This unique new line of micro actuators enables a new generation of motion‐enabled product designs, with capabilities that have never before been combined in a device of this size. Stepper actuators are a superior

Calibrating your 3D printer is essential if you want to achieve the best possible results. We guide you through the whole process.The accuracy of a 3D printer is paramount to the success of your 3D prints. It determines how well it can lay down layers, especially the first layer. Several factors can

3D printer belt tension seems like a simple thing to deal with — you set the tension and then check it’s good now and then. If it gets really loose, then the teeth can slip and you’ll get some shifts in the print, ruining it, but its an easy fix. But, we hear you ask, how do you determ

Over the years we’ve seen many takes on the 7-segment display. Among the most interesting are the mechanical versions of what is most often an LED-based item. This week’s offering is from [John Burd], who published a very odd video showing off the clock he made. But look beyond YouTuber

In the name of saving weight and pushing plastic, it’s nice to see continuous tweaks on 3D printer extruders from folks in their spare time. And to go where no extruder has gone before, [wayne dalton] has managed to combine the rolling screw thread extruder concept directly onto a brushless pa

Moticont has added a 0.750-in. (19.1 mm) diameter (smaller than a US Quarter) Linear Voice Coil Motor, to their expanding line of voice coil or moving coil motors. The LVCM-019-048-02 Linear Voice Coil Motor is a true servo motor featuring zero cogging, high accuracy, and high repeatability when ope
