This iteration is rough to say the least. Basically it's a frame that you can use homemade windings and electronics to make a stepper motor with. It's got a minimum step of 7.5 degrees, which is rough but it's a start and could be geared down. Talk on Reddit about making it more 3D printed is encouraging, but until someone undertakes to do something it's all just talk. I don't know if this stepper is significantly cheaper than just buying a stepper motor either. But it's exciting nonetheless. 105% cool.

3D Printed Stepper Motor... kind of.

Such a cool idea. I would give it a "150% cool" Joe.
