It’s little secret that stepper motors are everywhere in FDM 3D printers, but there’s no real reason why you cannot take another type of DC motor like a brushless DC (BLDC) motor and use that instead.

Most 3D printers use stepper motors to control the movement of the extruder head. If you could actually print those motors it would be one more big step toward self-replicating hardware. Now obviously ...

Arduino 3D Printer project is a DIY 3D printer design based on an arduino board. It features RAMPS 1.4 shield and Arduino Mega 2560 that handles majority of the 3D printer components. It has an ...

Arduino is at the heart of do-it-yourself electronics, and now the company wants to make inroads into additive manufacturing with its 3D printer: The Arduino Materia 101. As Arduino explains in a blog ...
