Servo vs Stepper
I'm a new one for this community.
This also not directly related with 3D printing.
I searched about this and I couldn't find good answer.
One of my friends told me CNC machining centers (Milling) mostly use servo motors and CNC laser cutter and…

Reprap variants with servo motors rather than stepper motors?
In a discussion about motors with a friend who used to work in the robotics industry, he told me that he despised stepper motor systems, as every stepper based system he had worked on required a bunch of hacky software fixes to make the system…

Can you reuse servo pins on MKS Gen L?
I need to find enough spare pins to add two extra motor drivers for my big printer build. I am using two motors for the Y and three for Z, I can use the E1 for one of them because I won't be using a second extruder.
I need to find six pins to get…

What is the best way to build a closed loop continuous rotation servo for 3D printer?
So I was thinking of using a closed-loop motor in my 3D printer for better accuracy and high-speed printing without losing steps. I have analyzed options available including just tweaking stepper current and firmware changes to prevent step losses…

Is it possible to get higher resolutions by using high resolution encoders and custom firmware?
So I was thinking about is it possible to reach higher resolutions with encoders and DC motors? I found a cheap high-resolution magnetic encoder that can be used along with a DC motor to access higher resolutions. The encoder has 8192 PPR meaning…
