What's important is that for the RAMPS 1.4 most precise stepping is 1/16th micro stepping (16 x 200 = 3200 steps/rotation). step angle (200 steps/revolution), the micro stepping becomes a multiplier.

I'm not going explain what exactly it means (there is plenty of articles on that). It best to use fork connectors and ferrules for better connectivity:įerules kit (comes with proper crimping tool): Amazon $25.89 īefore adding the Stepper Drivers you need to decide what type of micro stepping is needed by the 3D Printer. It was pointed out, some of the pictures show wires directly screwed into components. Heated Bed $31.99 (optional but will describe wiring) Stepper Cables: $9.49 (these are specific to RAMPS) The fully wired Limit switch (with cables): $7.98 You can choose from Direct Extrusion (motor on the Extruder) or a Bowden type of extrusion (motor feeds filamant through a tube to Hot-end) but it won't make a difference in hooking them up.įor this setup I purchased a RAMP 1.4 Kit which has all components needed to setup the controller boardįor end stop control you can go with two options (I will discuss wiring for both): The Type of extruder you purchase is up to you.

In the Laminated Prusa I3 printer the only electronic parts I added were the Nema 17 Stepper motors and the MK8 Extruder.
