3D Print Your Own Stepper Motors

Instructables member Proto G has done it again--this time with the Arduino based, 3D printed stepper motor. Including not just an instructional and educational video, Anthony Garofalo includes all you will need to make this device on your own from a small list of items that can mostly be found around the house and from the hardware store. Read more about this project--and an accompanying giveaway--here: http://3dprint.com/89643/3d-printed-stepper-motor/

As a follow-up to his impressive 3D printed working stepper motor, Proto G--Anthony Garofalo--is at it again, this time taking his motor design a step farther in using it as an educational tool. This newer design features LEDs to help teach users how a stepper motor works. He created it as a tool for educational institutes and has already received queries from interested teachers and professors in using the device to help their students to learn. Garofalo has made the design available on Thingiverse and created a new tutorial on Instructables to walk makers through the creation. Check out more details on his inspiration and intentions in the full article: http://3dprint.com/92556/3d-printed-stepper-motor-2/
