Mini Stepper Motor

Posted · Mini Stepper Motor

Hi Folks,

 

Yesterday I come across a small stepper motor, that might be used on the extruder itself, or for some other use..

The weight is 50 gram and length 30 mm with 4 mm shaft.

Not the smallest, but cost only 4 USD (500 Yen) so I bought 3 ea.

Here is a picture:

The "big" connector we are using on UM2 is shown beside the micro connector this mini stepper use.

Specs is found here: https://wakamatsu.co.jp/biz/products/detail.php?product_id=62020023

 

This stepper is made here in Japan.

 

Thanks

 

Torgeir.

Hi Jakeddesign,

 

Just search amazon with this P/N and you find them for about 350 Yen..

I'd just saw them when I was looking for another suitcase. 

(After 3 mounts here, you collect a few things..)

 

But I've still a week before returning home,. so..

 

Anyway, I found this at Akhihabara, the "electronic town" inside Tokyo..

 

Thanks

 

Regards

 

Torgeir.

    They resemble steppers from old floppy drives? They had one to move the heads.

     

    For a direct drive of the filament, it would need a huge reduction gear to get enough torque, I think. But I like the idea.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
