Homemade 3d Printed Stepper Motor

  • This is a programmable stepper motor and driver that I made out of some nails, magnet wire, neodymium magnets, a digispark microcontroller, and a 3D printed piece that I designed around these things. My goal was to make something about the size of a business card that moved. You can't exactly fit it in your wallet but it does indeed move. It just a first draft- there's lots of room for improvement. It has a step angle of 15 degrees (although the way I'm driving it, it is 7.5 degrees.) I saw a schematic diagram explaining how a stepper works with eight electromagnets and six permanent magnets in the center and I thought that layout might look cool. It also does illustrate well how stepper motors work. The white parts were designed in a CAD program, made from WSF material and printed at Shapeways. The ends of the shaft are cone shaped and pointy. They are held in place by slightly wider conical indents. The shaft was slightly longer than the space and I got it in there by pulling it open a little bit. The material needed to be flexible for this. The magnets are held in place by epoxy. (It's not fun working with strong little tiny magnets that want to stick together but are also covered with epoxy. It was a mess and there was swearing. It was also important that they all be oriented with the same polarity facing out.) The driver chip is a uln2003 transistor array and it is being controlled by a digispark which is a little arduino compatable microcontroller. It can be programmed by plugging it in the usb, but it needs an external 20V source to run it. (I know 20V is high but I just kind of guessed with the electromagnets and that's what they needed to run. Originally, I had it work with12V with the electromagnets repelling the rotor instead of attracting it, but I think that began to demagnetize the rotor magnets and it gradually stopped working.) In this video, I just have it run through a series of movements to show that it really works. I find it's best to shoot your project videos soon before you fry something and it doesn't work anymore. Not that that is going to happen here....Anyway, thanks for watching.

    Everyone knows how " things " work, but only a few knows how to make it. Great work. I will definitely make something similar with my kids... since i don't have a 3d printer wood will might be an alternative.. And for your next project you could always make me a 3d printer ;)

    Why does it chatter on some steps? I thought I saw some of the coils moving a little bit is that what the chattering is or is it something else?

    360/(8*6)=7.5 Means there are 8 coils and 6 magnets, which make 48 steps per revolution. 360 degrees divided by 48 steps = 7.5 degrees per step. The hard part is figuring out how to wire the coils and then the firing order.

    Cool, what is WSF material and how much did it cost ?
    I made an ez-spin pulse motor and printed it out in PLA Plastic. I think mine cost me about £5 in material to print.

      3D_Printing White - strong - flexible, should have taken a look at shapeways - lol. Still don't know what it really is though,

    Just saw this featured on Hackaday.
    Very nice build! It looks like it runs quite well! Any chance of any more info about how you're controlling it to get 7.5 degrees from 8 coils?

  • @fakiirification
    @fakiirification 11 років тому

    i hardly think a plastic garage hack stepper motor is going to be hijacked by makerbot/thingiverse. not like you can use this for any useful work, and the design is already well known, MANY companies make real stepper motors already, if they wanted a plastic one, they would likely just adapt their own design. this is just an interesting science project, so there is no other use for it but uploading to thingiverse.

    No, no & no. The TOS of both Instructables & Thingverse are too oppressive. Using them possibly could kill any open hardware/source nature, assuming that Christoper is going to release this as open hardware. I'm sure there are better methods or services to use to share. Instructables & Thingverse are are OK for sharing Run of the mill DIY projects, but this isn't run of the mill.
