Great Quality!
It's a little hard to review a stepper motor, but I will say there's definitely an increase in my printing quality and overall movements. I don't have precision measuring equipment to verify the air gap between stator and rotor, the cups but from what I can measure (shaft dimensions, impedance, current rating, etc) I can say that they are all within spec and the build quality of the casing is nicely machined. Would definitely buy again.
Good motors, a bit louder than I expected but nothing annoying
I bought these to upgrade from my Stepperonline 1.8 degree motors for my Anycubic Mega Zero on the x and y-axis. They are a bit louder (and a lot louder when printing gyroid infills) but not as bad as the stock motors that came with the printer. The main reason for buying these is to see if I can get rid of the VFA that were present on prints as present with the stock and StepperOnline motors. They DO WORK! There are still artifacts but nothing like the ripples with the previous motors. I believe that these artifacts may be caused by other factors like the extruder gears. These motors are well worth the upgrade at the current price point.
Terrible Vibration
With the motors wired properly, and the settings configured to proper settings, these motors vibrate a ton compared to similar e3d and moons motors. so much so that it resonates through the printer frame. Maybe i somehow got 3 bad ones, but not going to be buying again
Quiet! Even without stealth mode!
These steppers have been dead quite when connected to my SKR mini v2.0 both when holding and moving even without stealth mode enabled. I find my Steppermotor Online 17HM15-0904S to be very noisy by comparison, which I will be replacing with this LDO motor
Good motor, a bit loud
Tried these out on my Ender 3 with SKR 1.4T mainboard. They helped eliminate vertical fine artifacts in the walls and had no problems driving the axes. The only problem is that they were significantly louder than the stock steppers even with some experimentation in the chopper timing. Because the Ender 3 is in my office, I ended up going back to the stock steppers for now but will find another use for these LDOs since they are otherwise good motors.
