TL-Smoother Plus - Stepper Filter Module

3D Printing is one of the most exciting hobbies for people who love tomakethings, as it’s a beautiful culmination of almost all of the differentfieldsof engineering, from electrical to mechanical and even chemicalengineering aswell. And despite how complex most 3D Printers seem to be froman outsideperspective, once you go into the inner workings it gets a lotmorecomplicated, with these TL-Smoother Plus Stepper Filter Modules beinganexcellent example of just how complex it can get.

These simple but very cleverly-designed modules are built with flybackor“freewheeling” diodes, in order to filter out induction voltages andfeedbackso as to smoothen the electrical signal waves for smootheracceleration,movement and stopping times. In 3D Printing, this can make a bigdifference inthe quality of prints produced, as it ensures the Stepper Driversand motorsalways deliver the exact electrical signals, and in turn mechanicalmovements,that you’re expecting – resulting in prints that look and feel greatwithoutany signs of motor jerking or the common “Salmon Skin” problem.
