1. Purecrea Stepper motor Nema 17 17HS4401S 1.68Nm with planetary gearbox

This bipolar stepper motor with planetary gear ratio of 5 + 2/11 (approx. 5.18:1) uses a type D output shaft with a standard diameter of 8mm and has a step angle of 1.8° (200 steps/rev).For controlling the stepper / stepper motor with Arduino, I recommend using a stepper motor driver like the DRV8825 or even better TB6600.

Application examples:
Printer
3D printer
CNC
Robotics

4. Joy-it Nema 23 - 01

With the Nema 23 - 01 you get a robust, powerful stepper motor. It is equipped with a double shaft and has a holding torque of 3NM.

5. MakerBeam Standoffs or spacers

Electronics and makerbeams work good together. It is possible to slide
the PCB into the beams. Unfortunately this not always works well. The
boards are filled to
the edge with electronics and the beams are
conductive. Mounting a printed circuit board on PCB standoffs (or
spacers) could be an easy solution.
Our pack contains 4 spacers, 4 nuts, 4 bolts (6mm) and 4 washers. They
are all M3 size to complement MakerBeam well.
This size (M3) means this product is also a good match for OpenBeam.
You can use the same hex nut driver to fasten the spacers. You do not
need another tool.

8. SparkFun EasyDriver

The EasyDriver is compatible with anything that can output a digital 0 to 5V pulse (or 0 to 3.3V pulse if you solder SJ2 closed on the EasyDriver). The EasyDriver requires a 6V to 30V supply to power the motor and can power any voltage of stepper motor. The EasyDriver has an on board voltage regulator for the digital interface that can be set to 5V or 3.3V. Connect a 4-wire stepper motor and a microcontroller and you've got precision motor control! EasyDriver drives bi-polar motors, and motors wired as bi-polar. I.e. 4, 6, or 8 wire stepper motors.

This EasyDriver V4.5 has been co-designed with Brian Schmalz. It provides much more flexibility and control over your stepper motor, when compared to older versions. The microstep select (MS1 and MS2) pins of the A3967 are broken out allowing adjustments to the microstepping resolution. The sleep and enable pins are also broken out for further control.

Note: Do not connect or disconnect a motor while the driver is energized. This will cause permanent damage to the A3967 IC.

10. Makeblock MegaPi

MegaPi is a microcontroller board based on ATmega2560. With abundant
motor driver interfaces, it can control and combine different kinds of
motors rapidly, drive
10 servos and 8 DC motors/ 4 stepper motors
simultaneously and have a maximum output current of 10A.
MegaPi can be programmed with Arduino software (IDE) or graphical
programming language. It is even better that MegaPi works perfectly
with Raspberry Pi, by which makers will be able to drive motors and
sensors with Python!
With strong motor-driving ability and ease of use, MegaPi is an ideal
option for 3D printer, CNC, robotic project etc.
